Description

Hi!

We are Maarten ('91) and Layla ('94), a couple from the Netherlands who love exploring new places and meeting inspiring people. We’re open-minded, enjoy being outdoors (including hiking, cycling, running, yoga, and surfing), and feel very comfortable around animals. We’re easygoing and like finding a balance between sharing time with others and doing our own thing.

We’re both interested in personal development, meditation, and mindfulness. We don’t smoke and, while we enjoy an occasional beer, we’re not heavy drinkers. We speak Dutch and English fluently, and are learning Spanish at a basic level.

Through Workaway, we hope to experience new ways of living that might inspire us to one day build a life abroad ourselves.

We would like to help out with:

* gardening
* crafting / building / DIY
* eco projects / permaculture
* cooking
* hospitality / housekeeping
* cleaning and laundry
* baby-sitting
* plant- and pet-sitting
* yoga, meditation, massage
* community-building

If you think we might be a match, don't hesitate to reach out!
