Description
We are two Dutchies who are planning on travelling the other side of the globe from October onwards. We love to vary the citylife in Utrecht, Netherlands, with being outside in nature. Love to go camping during holidays and explore new places and cultures. Thijs is working as a self employed organisational consultant and parttime electrician, and Marlotte works as a psychologist. We both love being around animals, we grew up with many cats and dogs and are looking forward to having some ourselves.

We have been saving our money for the journey we dream of: this October we start in Indonesia, to go to Australia and New Zealand next. We don't want to experience the countries just by being a backpacker, but also experience the local life through workaway.

We had a great time with Thijs and Marlotte, they were independent, mature, interesting people. We appreciated their help and they have left lasting results.
They were a great fit to our farm and home and we wish them well.

We stayed with Marie and Asif for almost two weeks. We were the first ones to stay in the cabin outside, which was wonderful. Lovely to have our own place, and the best view to wake up with possible.

We loved the jobs we did, there was not always much time to check it or to guide us, which for us was no problem at all. I hope the next people… read more

Thjis shared with us three weeks and has been really nice to have his company. He helped us with the construction of the chicken coop fence, the demolition of the walls of an old house and the construction of a drywall.

I learned how to build a drywall. In the afternoon there is plenty of time to discover the surroundings. If you are fond of mountains, this is the place to go. Everywhere it… read more
