  • Description

    Hello kind souls 🌼

    we are Raphael (31) and Svenja (29), from Munich & Salzburg (with our furry friends Lili and Nyxa the dogs), looking for our next adventure!

    About Svenja:
    I have been working in marketing for several boardsport brands as well as a brand working to tackle food waste. However, rather than selling stuff, I felt the need to create things that are in harmony with nature and support community. I am a studied architect, but i rather get my hands dirty than sitting in an office. I have a genuine passion for gardening and enjoy hands-on tasks, whether it's planting, maintaining, or creating new garden spaces. I am enthusiastic about learning more and helping out with any diy projects!

    About Raphael:
    I spent most of my 20s travelling and working in different places of the world. After attaining my degree in tourism management I've worked in many different settings within the hospitality industry - from bartender to restaurant mananger. It gives me pure joy to get to know people, share our stories, and make them feel welcome and home. I'm working towards opening my own community space where people can come together and enjoy nature as well as each others company and stories!

    What brings us true happiness:
    We love gardening and plants (getting deeper into permaculture at the moment), herbalism, DIY projects of all sorts, planning and building in and around the house, being with animals & delving into spirituality.
    When we're not playing around crafting, we're usually found playing the guitar, crocheting, painting, doing yoga, researching on our current hyper-fixation or sleeping in a hammock.
    True happiness really lies in the outdoors and in creating things.

    We're easily excited, very curious and adventure seekers in every way. Yet, very determined to finish what we started or once dreamed about. Picture us as your golden-retriever-butterflies that love to make everyone laugh while building retention basins.

    We're excited to see many more beautiful places and to meet even more beautiful souls! :)
