Description

Hello,

We are a Belgian family of 3: Jeroen(34), Nathalie(34) and Merel(4) in search of our first work-away experience. We are constantly looking for a positive way of approaching life. Traveling less capitalistic and most of all real, this work-away concept seems interesting by learning new skills and helping others in return.

Being close to family and friends, tranquility and hiking in nature brings us happiness and peace. We also enjoy the occasional philosophical conversation by the fire.

We decided to travel in the spring and summer of 2024 to work/learn in a different way than we would do at home. We aim to work outdoors by doing gardening in general, little maintenance, feeding animals, ... however cleaning, cooking (occasional babysitting) are also possible. If there is an opportunity to learn about herbs, foraging, local cuisine, alternative forms of education, ... we would be very grateful.

We are interested in helping other families with young children in Europe, especially for our daughter to have children to play and connect with.

We put ourselves at your disposal.
