Description
Hello folks! We are Emmy (23, Dutch) and Markus (30, German), and after several years at university we are both looking forward to adventures where we can get our hands dirty and meet all sorts of people. Soon it's time for us to dive into a more settled life in lovely Sweden, but first we're excited to try different ways of living and travel all around Europe. After the hustle and bustle of city life in Utrecht, Dresden, Dortmund and Singapore, we both long for some nature and outside time, a more simple and purpose-driven life.
Some info about our individual selves: Markus is an IT wizard, and Emmy has studied subjects all over the place, from Neuroscience to Artificial Intelligence and more recently Sustainability Sciences. We both speak English and Dutch/German fluently, have learned to speak basic German/Dutch and between us we know bits of Spanish, Swahili and Swedish (the latter is work in progress). We enjoy hiking, having discussions about mind experiments and engineering sustainable projects, making bad word puns and learning new languages. In addition, we're both musical and enjoy singing: Markus plays the trumpet, dreams of learning to play the bagpipes and Emmy will play any instrument she can get her hands on. We're independent, easy-going and pro-active, and aren't afraid of a bit of hard work. Finally, we have a weak spot for old buildings and hope to one day restore one ourselves.
So far we've had one amazing Workaway experience on a poultry farm in Germany, and we're hoping to have many more adventures.
Enough about us: we're looking forward to meeting you! Don't hesitate to drop us a message, we'll be delighted to hear from you.Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

We can do basic things like cooking, painting, etc. Emmy is a born organizer, and Markus is excellent with computers. Emmy can tell what you had for dinner yesterday based on your brain activity. Okay, that last thing was a joke, but the rest is true.
