Description

I'm a university schooled sociologist with loads of experiences in different sectors but focussing on everything that is catering and precise DIY projects.
I'm an experienced traveller, the kind that's always a few steps ahead which, to my and others experiences, makes me a very reliable and useful addition to your projects.
I'm very used to working hard and for long hours if needed, but of course I enjoy a good rest and making meaningful connections with the great people we'll pass by on our journey.
My biggest passion are castles, more specifically the eclectic ones in France which have few to no symmetry.
Besides that I'm fond of my campervan which is our reliable "compagnon de route" when going abroad.

Jana is also a university schooled childcare educator with lots of experience in every segment of childcare of all ages, but since 3 years she's focused on "the first 1000 days" of the youngest children.
She's the kind of person who will actively educate your children in the most responsible way possible, without sacrificing risk-play or other styles of upbringing which are beneficial to children's development (like stimulating independence, gentle parenting ...)
As you can read, Jana is fond of children and would do everything to give them meaningful experiences which can be beneficial throughout their young lives. Besides that Jana loves to work in the garden and is keen on gaining knowledge and experience in building a big self-sufficient garden.

Together we're an adventurous couple, that loves to be on the road. We enjoy simple things and find happiness in almost everything. We like swimming upstream and try to create a life that fits our desires, detached from society's expectations.

To conclude I would suggest talking all this over with a cold beer and a nice scenery!
See you soon!

More details about my language interests
We're interested in learning which ever language that would be spoken or required to function on a daily basis. Teaching languages is definitely an option, bonus is that it would be taught in a didactical way.

More details about your skills

Our biggest skill would definitely be our brains.
We're to very capable persons who learn things very quickly and go for nothing less than perfection.
Therefor no challenge seems impossible which makes us try everything. We'd precisely prepare for it so there's none to a few things which would come unforeseen.
Professionally we've been active in catering of events with a foodtruck, starting up a restaurant and hosting and organising all sorts of culinary collaborations.
Preparing food and combining different tastes is the most fulfilling thing to do, everyone loves food!

Besides that basic diy-skills are definitely present and learning or trying new things are quickly put to good use in a realistic way.

Jana has done pedagogical studies for small children and she's the greatest and most thoughtful person to meet if you're a kid. (As an adult as well of course!)
