Description
Hi! We (Maarten and I) just started on a year-long journey by camper through Europe. With our two younghest children (12&17 y.o) and our white shephard dog. Leaving behind our oldest daughter (20 y.o) who whants to studie in the Netherlands :). Also leaving behind our company in the Netherlands - a daycare in forest/nature for schoolchildren-, my cello and womans choir, our social-living-community in the city of Tilburg with a communal space and garden and a lovely place in the dutch woods where we build a little cob-house and food-forest. In the past years i studied sea-sailing, bushcrafting,beekeeping and herbal medicin and started basket weaving and like to continue a lot of those things in our traveling-year ahead! At work-away i'm looking for places to be of use, hopefully from time to time together with my children (I would love some long simple tasks like olive or apple picking or something like that :)) to connect with people, to connect to the land.
Our campervan is quiet self sufficient. It is our house, our office (we work half a day a week for ouw company), our kitchen if needed. -
