Description
Hi! We are Mark and Svenja, we are both 21 y/o and originally from Costa Rica and Germany! We both moved to The Netherlands in summer 2019 to start studying "Creative Business"; this is where we met :)
Before that Mark has been studying in Costa Rica and Svenja has been traveling around Australia, New Zealand, Bali, and Europe for 13 months.
We are always down for adventures and want to go traveling together! We are very active and love being outside. Him growing up in the Costa Rican country side and me working on many farms in Australia, we are perfectly made to help you out on your farm or in your house.
We also hope to have a lot of fun, enjoy a multi cultural experience and of course learn from you and vice versa :)

More details about your skills
We haven done workaway in The Netherlands together on a little sheep farm where we did feeding, maintenance work, gardening, and cleaning. We also went to Spain and Portugal for 2 months and worked with many farm animals and spent 5 weeks taking care of donkeys.
During my (Svenja) year in Australia I gained loads of experience in farm work and gardening. Hence I'm not afraid of hard physical work and willing to make my hands dirty. I've also worked as an au-pair for a couple of weeks, I'd say I'm a very loving and caring person and easy to talk to.
Both of us are also experienced in working in online marketing, such as web design, social media, branding, etc.

Svenja is a delighful young lady who is smart, kind and intuitive. She lovingly cared for Ralph and helped to keep the house and garden clean and tidy. She was also very kind and understanding to me when I was in pain. I can highly recommend Svenja to other hosts, you won't be disappointed.

We really enjoyed having Svenja to stay and she is… read more

I stayed with Miriam and Ralph very spontaneously and only for one week, but I certainly had a great time!

Of course first thing to mention, her puppy Ralph is absolutely adorable and I spent hours just playing with him or laying next to him on the floor cuddling.

I had a lot of freedom to use my time however I wanted to, which I still used… read more

Our stay at Paula's animal sanctuary was a super nice experience! Paula is the sweetest host ever and made us feel very welcome. If we needed anything, she would take care of that immediately. All her animals, the dogs, horses, cows, goats and cats are rescued and it's impressive how she manages all this by herself. This is why we were happy to… read more

Svenja and Mark are a really good team. They work very well together and they are a lot of fun.
They were very patient with my English and my animals. They were a precious help. I recommend them to all future hosts.
My thanks to them and see you soon. I really hope

Our stay was sooo nice! We stayed with Eline for 2,5 weeks and were super sad to leave, we definitely are gonna come back this year. Working with the animals was a lot of fun. We were lucky staying in May, which is the lamb season; so many precious little newborns! Other than that, her 3 dogs are super cute and perfect to cuddle and take walks… read more
