Description

Traveling the world and learning about different cultures, new skills, meeting new people and communities is what we are truly passionate about. We love to make new experiences and explore unfamiliar ways of life, ways of thinking and about new parts of ourselfes. We love to support communities around us aswell as nature, making life on this planet a better life, for both humans aswell as all organisms amongst us.

Lale started her journey at 18, when she left her home country to travel south east asia to volunteer in a Marine Biological Research Institute, shaping her life ever since. Falling (even more) in love with the ocean and our nature, as well as the diverse cultures of our planet, she started working as a dive instructor in Thailand, as well as teaching about environmental conservation, traveling many countries in south east asia as well as all over Europe.
After two years of adventures she decided it would be time to learn more about our ecosystems and life in depth, to be able to make a bigger change, have a greater positive impact on our environment and life on our planet, and started studying environmental biology.
Back in germany she learned alot about our native ecosystem, about ways of living off our planet, our forests and meadows. She spend alot of time gardening, and started teaching about foraging and conservation of our ecosystems.
She found a deep connection to nature through foraging and her passion for herbal medicine, as well as a connected and spiritual way of life through practicing yoga, learning about sound healing and about ancient healing practices.

Jakob is a learned carpenter, having worked as a furniture builder for many years as well as in a theater, building and constructing. During the last few years he found his passion for stage design and creating beautiful spaces, with sustainable materials, for people to feel comfortable and at home and create spaced for people to express them selves.
He has always had the dream to travel the world, explore different cultures and communities and first of all learn about different ways of life and different ways of natural building, to one day settle down and be part of a sustainable living project and community, to creat a place for people amongst nature, have room and space for personal development and living at peace.
He loves being around other people and share knowledge about building, growing, and helping our planet, living in harmony with our environment.

We both met back in Germany and after Lale has finishes her studies, the both of us decided to traveling the world again, before settling down.
We are looking forward to learning new ways of living, learning about new cultures, being part of conservation projects, meeting communities and learning about permacultural gardening and sustainable building, and just helping anywhere with the skills we have or might still learn about, giving back as much as we can to communities and our environment .
