Description

Hello!
We are Lisa (Japanese) and Karl (German), and we started our bikepacking nomad journey this July.
We started cycling from Karl's home in Germany, and our goal is to reach Lisa's family home in Yokohama, Japan.

But for us, this journey is not really about the destination, but more about being as present as possible to experience, meet and learn different cultures and people and beings with our own eyes. But also, to learn about ourselves and how we want to live our life, without other people or our own expectations, just in an authentic and own way.
It is very crucial for us to travel as sustainably, authentically and somehow slowly as possible: any encounters with people or animals on the road absolutely make our day :)

That's one of the reasons we don't stress much about how many kilometres we achieve everyday.
We live day to day slowly and most importantly listen to our mind and body.

Joining Workaway community, hoping that we will meet different souls to spent a little longer time together with (2 weeks) & exchange & share love and spirits 🕉️🙏🏻🌿🌛✨

Ah! A bit about us, we met each other in Brazil back in 2016, lived together in Germany before starting this trip. We consider ourselves a soulmate, (usually most of the time hehe) have a great teamwork ;) But we don't stick together like a glue, we love to work and perform independently as much as together.

More details about your skills

We looooove animals.
Especially, Lisa adores them so much that we often have to stop every 200m as she finds any kinds of animals.
We used to have 2 cats when we were living in Cologne, Germany, and Lisa's grown up with dogs.

I think we're a fast learner & can be helpful for different kinds of tasks.
But most importantly, we're super motivated & keen to learn new skills and get to know different ways of living or work :)

One of other projects we have in mind is "building a Tiny house" after our cycling journey :)
