Description

***UPDATE - Actively looking for work in Norway/ Sweden, starting end of April with no end date. Don't hesitate to contact us if we did not contact You first yet! :)

**IMPORTANT - Our travels and participation in Workaway projects have been ongoing for several years now. Finally, the time has come for us to create a place on Earth to pursue our passions, invite like-minded people, and give back some of the energy we've accumulated over the years. We're looking for a place where we can build magical huts among the trees and rocks, and to realize this dream, we need savings, a budget, and planning. Therefore, we're currently looking for employment and can join paid projects only.

Hi everyone,

We are polish couple traveling with our cat - Mega, changing a boring living room to endless nature views straight from the bed! We come with our eye-pleasant self built milestone, Renault Master campervan. Animal and planet lovers, hard working power couple, handy vanlifers with artistic souls, looking for a new places to visit, new flavors to try and work where we are needed.

Latest projects - building our second van, house renovation in Switzerland, camping service and renovations at austrian camping. Our experience covers hospitality projects and professional customer service in countries like Netherlands, Italy, France and Austria. Currently we are gathering knowledge and skills at norwegian cheesery at Tysnes Island.

Angie (28) -I'm a hiker, and yoga enthusiast. I'm also a fiber artist. I create beautiful decor & jewellery with macrame, crochet and weaving techniques.Crochet clothing as well. Some time ago this passion has become not only a form of expression, but also a small business (online art shop). I would say I strongly live by "less consuming more creating" rule. I have couple years of experience in management, hospitality and child care (master degree in social rehabilitation pedagogy). I can restore old furniture, create small, wooden art pieces and assist Maciek in almost every building project. Work with plants and animals brings me the most joy. I like to visit every corner of the spots we visit and i'm always open for new things.

"Magic" Maciek (37)- I also like to be active, especially if that includes cutting wood or carrying heavy loads. If I'm not tired enough, i like to workout in the surroundings of nature. Playing guitar and drums is my passion but carpentry is what i'm focused on the most. I have various skills that let me work with wood, renovations, mechanics, gardening and DIY projects. Used to work with professionals and big companies. I love to fix things and bring back the shine to old pieces. Besides that, i can sit behind the wheel for hours and can drive a car, van, tractor and anything else that have 4 wheels. I used to be self-employed as a graphic designer and a printer, did some voice and music recordings, photographer and amateur videorecorder. Currently dabbling in pyrography, spoon carving and some vocal recordings.

Mega - i'm almost 10 years old kitty furrr ball with a constant need for cuddles and a very big heart that is a little bit different than the regular one. I like to follow my people and sleep on them too :) Most of the time I'm napping in the van. In new places i like to check the area first to get to know all smells and movements, just explore down to the smallest detail . I travel with my humans for almost 4 years now and know a lot of how it works. I have my own food and toilet, don't like to make a mess. Also I don't mind other people and animals, but please, have in mind, i don't understand everything like you so i need a little while to adjust myself to the place.


We're open for visiting anywhere where we can create small and big things, build and play and be with our cat. Vanlife never ends so if you don't have any job for the time we apply, lets make plans for the future!

Also, as Polish citizens , we are able to work in whole EU without extra paper work, had contracts in Italy, Netherlands and France, Austria and Norway so we have plenty of tax identification :)


Looking forward to join YOU :)
