Travelling
Description
Hey there!
Traveling around the world, exploring its many corners, learning everyday. We value the spiritual most of all. Would rather sleep in a dirty and dingy old house with great people, than a mansion with miserable grouches. We are ready to give a lot!! But it has to go both ways. For lovely, friendly, welcoming people that we get along with, we work all day long and happily!! But when someone sees us strictly in terms of dollars or hours, we feel lousy pretty quick. We’re traveling to help, and learn, and make friends for life.

Feri and Lise were great! We stayed with them for 2 months—we got REALLY lucky, and escaped a terrible workaway in Croatia to come to Lise and Feri instead, right before the lockdown came.
