Description
We are a couple who love nature, travel and meeting new people.
Helping out with interesting projects gives us energy.
We had a small company that designed and built bedrooms for adventurous kids but are now free to travel!
Pieter loves the creativity of interior design and has years of experience in renovating and changing houses.
Ingrid worked in the same business but also had a job in childcare for many years for which she is fully certified.
We both love the outdoors and spent many trips hiking and kayaking.
We live in the countryside in the rural east of the Netherlands and enjoy our greenhouse and vegetable garden. Ingrid loves cooking with our home-grown vegetables!
