Travel information

We are currently

Activities we are interested in:

We are a couple travelling in our caravan, looking to learn new skills and work with our hands, meet interesting people, do plenty of hiking and mtb'ing, and be as connected to our path as possible.

Description

Husband and wife team, both fit and healthy and looking to work with our hands and minds in a positive and uplifting way, and we'd love to learn some new skills!

While we come from professional backgrounds, have both business and legal skills, and we're happy to apply our brains to a given problem or situation, we're looking to be as immersed as possible in the quest to live a more meaningful life - nature and Mother Earth, our environment and sustainability, and being as connected as possible.

We've always been drawn to nature, exploring and adventure! We're avid and very experienced over-landers and campers, and we've had experience in guiding tours locally and in Botswana and Zambia. We'd love to one day build an off-grid type camp so that we can share our passion for sustainable and comfortable camping with others.

We're hands on people, not in the least afraid of roughing it a bit and putting in hard physical work, and always willing and able to take a challenge and make a plan. We're quick learners and definitely looking to learn more about gardening, hydroponics, sustainable farming, natural building methods and the like.

We have multiple skill sets, both as individuals and as a couple, ranging from sewing, crafting and photography, extreme organising skills and office administration, to guiding tours for local and foreign tourists, navigation and bush skills.

We're handy with tools, able to handle household repairs and maintenance and small building projects, and both experienced in actual commercial project management and commercial law. So we can help with a sewing machine, a spade and spanner, or a laptop!

More details about your skills

While Neville is experienced as a corporate professional and commercial lawyer, his passions and interests have always been in living as sustainably and with as much substance as possible. Outdoor living, over-landing and tour guiding, hiking, mountain biking and running, working with his hands, and finding creative solutions to problems.
Practically speaking, Neville is handy with tools, building, basic mechanics, solar installations, plumbing and general maintenance. Not scared of hard work, and definitely able to apply his brain to complex challenges.
What he'd like is to be involved in work that speaks to his passions, and where he's able to learn new skills and meet interesting people.

Nadine has always been the artistic one - she loves photography, nature and the esoteric and strives to have a holistic view on life. In her previous life she was a business analyst, working for large corporates and for business rescue practitioners. Now she strives to live a more meaningful life.

Practically speaking Nadine is a very good organiser, administrator, process designer and implementer, photographer, website designer, seamstress, gardener and pretty much anything else she puts her mind to - she is a fast learner.

Nadine would love to spend her time working in nature and meeting interesting people. Being part of the land, finding spiritual fulfilment and spending her time on meaningful activities is very important to her.

Moving away from the corporate environment and city living has been a choice for both of us, and likewise living sustainably and being as connected to the planet as possible is also a choice which we make every day.

What else ...

We have our own 4x4 vehicle, and we have a caravan - we would love to be able to either park our van somewhere or be able to live in it, where ever we may go.
