We are currently

Activities we are interested in:

We are mostly wildcamping but we also love hanging out with fun people. We would love to give a helping hand with organising a place, doing renovations/repairs and garden/farming work.

Description

Since march we chose a life as nomads. We sold our house and are travelling by bicylde together with our two dogs.
Travelling this way enables us to really connect with the environment and people of the places we travel. We stay in nature as much as possible but sometimes it's nice to connect with people for a longer span of time and to be able to help others with their projects.
We have experienced awesome spontaneous connections and met lovely people through warmshowers. Joining this network we hope to find people that are set to spend more time than just one day together.

More details about your skills

Saskia has studied tax law and gave accountantcy training for exams at the university. I probably don't know the local laws, but can help you with your administration.
Also she has worked 10+ years as a barefoot farrier for horses. Aside from hooves she has a lot of knowlegde about nutrition, metabolic system of the horse, basic mediccal care and (R+) training of horses. Handy with all kinds of animals except cats.
She loves food and is a great cook of different cuisines, our favourite cuisine is Persian/Middle east. During our travel we have started to learrn the art of mking dough and bread.
Also skilled in renovations/light repairs. In our house she did the electricity work, the tiles and piping in the bathroom, insulating the walls with PIR and plastering all the walls.
Aslo a lot of knowlegde about edible and medicinal plants, and some knowledge of edible mushrooms.

Milad: I studied computer science and was a cybersecutiry specialist. while I prefer to distance myself from that life, I can still teach programming and software security, if you ask very nicely :D.

I am a trained artist too. I held classes and workshops in academic drawing, and not only I WILL draw you, I can teach you how to draw very well. regardless of your starting point. (yes, even if all you can draw are stick figures and think you have no tallent).

same with photography, I can teach you all about photography so you can take amazing pictures with any camera, I have to warn you though you might fall in love with the art so much that you would spend all your money on cameras.

I am pretty handy around the house with renovations/light repairs, with a special love for carpentry. I am generally good with knives and axes he can process wood, and sharpen almost any tool. I also like to use my body, I am pretty strong and like heavy work. and thanks to the trip I have the stamina of a workhorse :D

I am also a trained martial artist, I can teach you how to do kick some butt.

I have also perfected the art of kneeding dough.

We are both very good at camping and survival skills, from making fire to finding food in the wild. Since we have been doing that for so long.

Update: We have worked in farms. so we have some experience there.
