Description
Hello,
We are a couple which has the big luck to take a sabbatical together. We are going to travel for four months through Greece. During this time we would like to work in a social or environmental project for some days or weeks.
My name is Udo, I´m 65 years old and a social worker. I've studied sociology and politics. I`ve lived in living communities and founded a firm as a collective together with some partners. There we repaired cars, restored wooden furniture and made many other things. My passion is creative handcrafting, but most dear to my heart is the interaction of different cultures.
I also like being outside and enjoying the nature.

My nickname is Pony. I am 52 years old and I am working as a teacher at a school for landscaping Trainees. Before I became a teacher I worked as a gardener for some years. I´m living in a big community with more than 130 neighbours for 20 years now. I raised my daughter there, until she moved out.
I like to discuss issues in a group, make collective decisions and work together to realize them. I am curious about other people, how they see the world and how they managed their lives. In my free time I do needlecraft. go hiking and camping. I like being outside.

Boy, were we sad to say good bye to this wonderful couple, after the agreed two weeks! We thoroughly enjoyed having them here, and are grateful for all the help they gave us. A few days before they left, we discovered that Udo is a dab hand at plumbing, and Pony is a whizz with the sewing machine!! What a pleasure to deplete the mending pile!!

This farm is fantastic. If you want to get an idea about suistanable farming you are right here: beehives, making cheese, work in a vegetable permacultur garden, maintenance at the buildings and a lot more. Surounded by an magnificent nature we felt like being a part of this.
We slept in a comfortable cottage with a huge window so we could see… read more

Staying in the seawind on top of a hill with a magnifcent view to the ocean we enjoyed the contact with the local people. You see everytime how rural living happens around you. Horses, donkies, chicken, dogs and goats roam around and you sometimes have to chase them out of the garden. Nontsha plants a lot of vegetables. So you can also do the … read more
