Description

Hi, we are Han and Samantha from the Netherlands and the U.K.

We are long-term travelers, traveling in our self-made camper, which is our home.

Believe it or not we met on a Workaway in Finland in 2025 and ever since then we have been traveling this wonderful world together.

Before we met, we had both been traveling independently for 5 years - Han in his camper and Samantha on her feet, as a backpacker!

We love to travel, camp, and help out wherever we can. We really like to work with people who enjoy life and care about our world and the people in it. Han is a big guy, almost two meters tall, 95kg, sporty (ride skateboard/monowheel and practice martial art), and embraces life in all its aspects. Samantha is definitely smaller, but equally sporty, enjoying hiking most of all.

Han is a jack of all trades and carries a lot of tools in the camper. You name it and he can probably do it, perhaps not always like a real professional but he gets the job done. If he thinks he can't do something he will tell you upfront that he is not the man for this job.

Samantha is a teacher and writer. She specialises in English language teaching, but has taught all school subjects at various times in her teaching career. If you are looking to improve your English or simply have someone to talk to in English, she is a patient teacher with lots of ideas to get you (or your children) talking. She has also written a lot of marketing content for companies around the world, so could help with that too.

Besides helping out, we both like to enjoy life and have fun. For that, we carry stuff with us like a monowheel, VR glasses,games, a scooter and a skateboard.

Well, that's us! If we sound like we could fit in at your place please contact us. Han also has a website, please have a look at www.we-become.space

I stayed two weeks and really enjoyed my stay. There are a lot of projects to work on. I did some painting but was mainly occupied with making a new electricity connection to a separate building. Was a interesting project.
During dinner Jam and I shared our point of view about life and economic. It was very interesting and educational.
I think we … read more

Han stayed at our school for 2 days. He is a really cool and easygoing guy who was a true enrichment to our students. Han has so much to say and show, the kids were super excited about his way of traveling as well as his equipped van. He has a lot of fun stuff to show: VR, a dancing robot, a monowheel, pictures and videos from his travels, etc. … read more

On a impuls I asked Kate if I could come and stay a few days. Never been to a school host. I enjoyed my stay very much. They really take care of you and try to make you feel at home. Also the children are nice and polite. I told them about my travels and showed them my Wamper (workshop/camper). So definitely a place to go.

Han stayed only couple of days in the monastery. It was so unfortunate for him because when he arrived, the weather turned very bad : it was rainy and wet almost all day. I am so sorry he did not see how beautiful is the place where the monastery is, when the weather is better.
Thus, it was difficult to find some work with such a bad weather. … read more

It's a place run by people for people to enjoy, learn, work, live, music and dance while raising awareness relative to ourselves, society and nature. I was searching for a place like this and now I know it exists! I was planning on staying three month's which became six.

Han is a great friend and a great worker! He is able to do all you need such as maintenance or cleaning, but is able to make shelves, cabinets and whatever you are able to be desired! Thanks Han thanks the time spent together and the wonderful experience that we shared.

I stayed at Alberto's place almost four months. Had a great time and made a lot of new friends.
Alberto is a nice host who is flexible and gives you space to explore Palermo. The work is not heavy and often you can fit it in your own schedule. Alberto became a friend also his parents for who I did some maintenance. Very regular Alberto organizes … read more
