Description

Hi! This is Jasper (33) and Vereleyn (32)! Originally we are from The Netherlands, but we are in Kenya now and planning to stay in Africa for quite some time - we travel slowly. We both quit our corporate jobs last September and are now experiencing Africa.

We enjoy volunteering and becoming part of a community, getting to know a culture and people, and we love to help and to contribute with our knowledge, skills and passion.
We are a couple but we don't always volunteer together - since we have different interests and passions!
