Description
Hello!
We are Richard and Ginny, two Dutchies who have decided to cycle through Europe (and maybe further, but let's start with Europe).
Last year (2015) we've decided we are not going to wait for our retirement to start living our dream, but to do it NOW!
Nobody knows what the future holds. We only know that NOW we are happy, and healthy, and willing and able to live, travel, work, share, develop ourselves and help others in a way that is more valuable than money.
We have quit our jobs, saved some money, rented our house, and now we're ready to go on this new adventure.
During our cycling trip we would love to be your WAW and we can stay from a few days up to a few months.
Although we might not (yet) have all the experience or skills required for certain types of help like farming or maintenance, we are absolutely willing to learn and to develop new skills.
Skills and knowledge we'd like to share or learn
Gardening
Babysitting and creative play
Being an elderly companion
Creating/ Cooking family meals
General Maintenance
Life at a Farmstay
Helping around the house
Animal Care
Hospitality/Tourism
Charity Work
Language practice
Helping with Computers/ Internet
Teaching
More details about your skills
We have teaching skills (especially fitness, aerobics, functional training, bootcamp), cleaning / household, we enjoy cooking healthy and nutritious meals (vegetarian also), child care, administrative skills, computer skills (Excel, Word, internet, social media, Wordpress), Can help with practicing languages like English.
Age
45 & 43
Nationality
Dutch
What else ...
We have always worked and lived in cities and therefore have plenty of experience in living a 'city-life' with typical 'city-jobs'. That experience might come in handy for you (Richard is a financial controller/finance expert and he is great with Excel and statistics. Ginny is a personal trainer and lifestyle coach with her own on- and offline business > If you want to get a better impression, check out my websites ginfitonline.nl + ginfit.nl).
On the other hand, what we DO NOT HAVE, is experience living and working in more rural areas / farms etc. And that is EXACTLY what we hope to learn from our stays as Workawayers.
Will you be our first WAW host?

* There are many projects going on in and around the house. Most tasks are not very hard or physically tiring, and there's plenty of work, which allows you to vary between tasks. We would have loved to do some construction work in the studio,… read more
