Description
Hi!
I'm Joanne, a 29 year old girl from The Netherlands. In September 2024 I will start my journey on my bike from Groningen (NL) to Tunisia. During this journey I hope to visit farms, communities and inspiring people, whom I can help on the land, building houses or teaching each other new skills.
At home, I'm an art teacher with a special interest in bookbinding and paper making, so maybe we can do an exchange! Since I was young I have the dream to become a farmer once, and in my small garden I try to grow my vegetables with the permaculture principles.
I love to cook! Can you teach me how to cook your favorite meal?
