Description
Hi there,

We Anton and Marijke are looking for a place to work for a couple of weeks during our journey, to get to know other people (of the region) and feel the atmosphere of the country.
We are 60 and 66 years old en we are looking forward to experiencing more adventures in remote places. We come with our campervan and are self-sufficient during our travel. We are very sportive, flexible and just stopped working. So we have more time now and would love to experience new adventures and meet new people from other countries.

Sue was always very pleased with what we had done . There was a lot of work to do, from cutting the cane to weeding the weed and put plastic and stones on it. Sue gave us a lot of freedom in how to organise things.
We had our own place to stay,… read more
