Description
Hei!
We are Melchior and Leandra, a Dutch-German couple currently living in the Netherlands.
We want to move to Norway soon and plan to travel around beforehand to find the exact place where we want to live. While we are travelling, we would love to help you out with your projects or everyday tasks.
Melchior has led the technical team at a holiday park for 7 years and is extremely handy. He can fix and build almost everything. He is very creative aswell and has experience in woodworking, from lamps to furniture. He is new to workaway.
Leandra has worked as a product manager in software development and with dogs. She has stayed with a family via workaway before and has took care of over 30 huskies. She has also worked as a mantrailing trainer for a year, so she is experienced with dogs. She is handy and enjoys DIY-projects, cooking and baking.
We are positive and open-minded. We love to get to know our hosts and spend some time together while also appreciating time for ourselves. We love clear communication about expectations.
We travel together with our friendly pets, a husky and a cat. Both love to get some cuddles and are potty-trained.
