Description
We, Michael and Valentina, are a couple from Switzerland. Last year, we fulfilled a dream and converted a former ice cream truck into a camper together. We set off from Switzerland with our new home on four wheels 9 months ago and have since traveled across the Balkans to Armenia and now we are in jordan.
After gathering many impressions and spending a lot of time in nature, we now feel the need to gain a deeper insight into local life, get involved in meaningful activities, and learn new things.

More details about your skills
Michael:
I am a studied multimedia producer and have worked as a photographer and videographer for a Swiss newspaper for the last 4.5 years.
Before and during my studies, I spent a lot of time working in construction as an all-rounder, where I gained a lot of practical experience. I was able to deepen this experience with Valentina while converting our camper.
Valentina:
I've completed my degree in Social Work a few years ago. Since then, I've worked in a prison, in an addiction counseling center, and at a school for children and adolescents with special educational needs and behavioral challanges.
I once traveled with a tent for several months, so I can work outdoors in any weather and endure long hours. At home, I enjoy gardening and know a bit about plants and herbs. I also love to cook in my free time.
I have a great fondness for animals. I've had pets since I was a child, used to walk dogs from the neighborhood and the animal shelter, and had a foster horse when I was young.
I have helped out with olive harvests several times, which I also enjoyed very much.
During the conversion of our camper, I discovered a new field and ventured into manual craftsmanship.
