  • Description

    Hey,

    we are Jakob (32) and Ruth (25), a couple for more than four years. Currently based in Dresden/Germany for living and working. Both of us have a history of traveling in different settings, to different places: Kenya, Gambia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Chile; for varying purposes, e.g. volunteering in a children's home, working as a midwife (Ruth), studying (Jakob). Now we plan to travel for a year together and would love to stay at some exciting places and get in touch with others.
