We have just come back from a month travelling Europe and have come home to our hometowns until our next trip!
Description
Hello, we are Maisie (20) and Inge (21). We are a couple- I am English and Inge is Dutch and we met whilst travelling Thailand. We love to travel, explore new cultures, meet new people, go on hikes and be in nature.
We love to try and find cool and interesting wildlife too. Both of us are vegetarian but not vegan so our diet is fairly simple and we never struggle to stick to a creative no-meat diet. We both love to cook but Inge has more experience and can share her recipes of homemade kimchi and dumplings and more with whoever we stay with.
We are both fluent in English and Inge is fluent in Dutch... we are more than happy to teach our languages to others and would love to learn another language ourselves.
To sum up what we're like, Inge is creative, arty, very caring, and always willing to try new things. I (Maisie) am social, caring, open-minded and enthusiastic, I love spending time outdoors and traveling to nice places. You can find me working in my favorite coffee shop, cooking or baking delicious foods or walking my lovely dog Fifi.
I was studying a film degree in the UK this past year, however I've come to the conclusion that I will gain more from travelling to new countries, living with communities so different from what we're used to, learning life skills, learning how to forage, how to grow crops organically, cook outdoors, look after our bodies and to live more simply.
This is why we would love to stay in a community of like-minded people who equally care for the planet and enjoy being outdoors all day long!Interests

Maisie and I make a great team together, and work super well in a wider team too. We are good conversationalists and communicators. We both handle pressure and stress very well, and are all round just quite chill and good humoured!
We are hardworking, curious and fun.
I (Inge) am innovative, creative, a good chef and tend to carry out the more physical jobs as I'm quite strong, so I am great in the garden and doing maintenance jobs,
Maisie has a naturally green thumb; she is great with plants. She is also musical and can play the piano and ukulele. She is very approachable and sociable, great with kids and is a natural domestic goddess!
To summarise, we both have skills to offer indoors and outdoors and in varied environments. We both have great common sense and initiative (which are pretty essential for travelling!) and can lighten up any given situation.Age
