Description
Myself (Arie Johannes), my wife Diedeke, and our daughter Juliette are traveling through Spain in search of our own place in our campervan. Along the way, we love to roll up our sleeves and help out! Our last name means 'forest' in Dutch so it seems only natural we work in nature;)
Together we've worked and housesat at multiple farms in France and Spain, and now we hope to see more through this platform.

More details about your skills
Arie has worked as an arborist and used to be a volunteer for the Dutch Organization Natuurmonumenten (taking care of the forest in the Netherlands). He grew up on a farm so has experience in working with tools, building stuff and maintaining a big garden. He also used to work in a hotel so has experience in that area as well. Diedeke has an online job as a psychologist every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and would be helped out if there is a room with a desk available. When she is not working, she likes to cook food, loves hiking, adores pets and likes to be a bit creative with paint as well. She has experience with teaching English to children.
Age
37 & 35
What else ...
We have our own beds with us since we are traveling with our campervan. However, we do need a quiet room with a desk three days a week (tuesday-wednesday-thursday) for the online job of Diedeke.
