Description
Hello everybody,

Soon we are again be lucky to had have 6 month time for traveling. (From dec.2023 to may 2024)
From august 2018 to april 2019 we´d traveled along the USA west coast, hawaii, croatia and been hosted from wonderfull, interesting, open minded people.
In these months we done almost everything, except plumbing. Kathrin was the (talentet) helper, Gordon was the expert. We done instalation in Nevada City, we painted walls and cleared up gardens near LA, we done joinery and coverd a roof in Maui, lay parquet on Big Island, sell in a shop...
It was a wonderful time and now its time to make new experiences. We plan to travel on the south coast of USA, further to New Zealand, and then Australia and Sri Lanka
We are open and ready for nearly everything...
We are looking forward to visit our next great hosts.
See you soon!

To stay at Betsy was wonderful. She and her Sister Denise made us feel like family and we had a lot of fun decluttering the garage with them. We loved to go walking with the two cute Dogs in the mornings.
