Description

We are a middle-aged couple, one retired, one planning on retiring in 2027. We have been together over 4 years and each have grown up children. We love most activities associated with nature like cycling, skiing, kayaking, walking, hiking. We have a van and regularly take weekend trips where we know the sun will be shining and we bring our bicycles. In the winter, we bring our skis and spikes. We also enjoy finding a nice place to spend the evening to listen and dance to the music. We are both interested on working on a farm to care for animals, and help with the daily chores. We are both learning Spanish with Duolingo and would really love an immersive experience to become more fluent. We are also very openminded and eager to develop new abilities. We are calm, intelligent, motivated and hard working. We love to meet new people and learn about their experiences.

More details about your skills

Martin : I work in telecom and have over 25 years of experience in the field. I am quite resourceful and have many other skills. I've fixed a few small appliances as well. I've owned a house, so I have over 20 years in general indoor and outdoor home maintenance, like lawn mowing and gardening. I like to fix things around the home like painting, carpentry, electricity.
Isabelle: I am now retired from a career as an accountant so I know my way around an Excel worksheet. I'm not as skilled as Martin for the manual work around the home, but I have plastered, painted, and fixed my share of things around the house too. I have been vegan and gluten free for the past 10 years and have acquired cooking skills to meet my dietary restrictions.
Having been parents, it has developed our patience, our creativity and our skills to entertain bored children.
