Description

Hi there!

We are Twan (41) and Romy (35) from the Netherlands and we are going to travel through Spain in search of a place to make it our home. We are making plans for emigration as we want to escape the busy life in Holland.

We love to travel the world and see as much as possible, from Costa Rica to South-Africa and Sri Lanka.. we enjoy all cultures!
We have our own campervan for traveling in Europe in search of great surfwaves, mountains to hike or nature to find our peace.

In our daily life Romy works as a virtual assistent for different kind of companies and she will be working remotely while traveling in Spain. Me, i'm a Physiotherapist and I am the co-owner of a physiotherapy company with 7 employees. I will give up my work as a physiotherapist and love to continue working with my hands, but now as a DIY, gardening or in de maintenance. I'm a hard and precise worker and not afraid of getting dirty hands.

We are very easy going and social persons, but also love a bit of time and space of our own. In our free time we love to go camping with our campervan, go hiking/running, surfing or just chilling.

We are excited to meet new people and go on a new adventure!

More details about your skills

In my daily life I'm a physiotherapist, so i enjoy helping people, making them feel better so they can enjoy their life to the fullest without any pains or complains. I build up my own company with my two companions and we now have a physiotherapy practice with seven employees. So I know what hard working is, to make something to a success, together with the patient, because it needs always both people to get the best results.

But now I want to do something else, still make people happy, but now in the open air/nature.
In my free time I love to do gardening and most of all DIY. We renovated our complete house and garden by ourselves, I love to do all kind of things to make the campervan look nice and friends and family always ask me the help them with building. I like to do carpentry, tiling floors and walls and do small construction work and gardening.
I will place some photo's of my work that I have done.
I also love to cook, so if its necesarry i can cook a meal once in a while.

I hope we can share our skills and expertises together so we can learn from each other and most of all.. have some fun togehter while doing that! :)

It made a huge difference to us.

Although the stay was (too) short, we enjoyed it immensely. Lindsey is a lovely host, but also keeps to herself, giving you plenty of space to organize your own time alongside work.

The cottage is cozy, clean, and a pleasure to stay in, and the dogs Piper and Kitty add extra warmth—they love going for a walk or a run.

During our stay, we … read more

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Loyd and Claire, and the little animal zoo. The area is really beautifull and gives you plenty of routes to run or walk, on which you will be accompanied by the dogs!
The cottage where you stay in is really nice and gives you loads of privacy.
And if you are a handyman/women there is loads of nice work to … read more

Twan and Romy just spent a refreshing and productive month with us . Twan is a multi skilled hard worker with a determination to get a task done. We blitzed many areas of our homestead - from over grown gardens, to finishing stone walls and redecorating interior walls. His level positive energy was a pleasure to have around. The dogs loved their … read more

Twam and Romy spent 4 weeks with us. Twan was very hard working, had a huge variety of skills and knowledge and was able to turn his hand to pretty much anything! His work was tidy. fast and very accurate. He is creative and aesthetically smart. He was always looking to recycle and upcycle stuff wherever possible reducing waste and cost! A great … read more

It was great to have Twan and Romy stay with us. An interesting and fun couple who loved our Tommy dog. Twan is strong and hardworking and helped pruning, clearing the land , burning cuttings as just a little carpentry & concrete work although I think he is capable of more. We hope to see them again would welcome them back ...

The stay at Carl and Maria was absolute lovely! The studio is nice and cosy and you have loads of private space and time. And everytime you open your door you have an amazing view on the mountains and Tommy and the cat are waiting for you for a cuddle or a nice walk!
Carl is really nice and explains what he wants to have done that day. I mostly … read more

Twan and Romy were lovely people to have around. While Romy worked on her own remote job most days, Twan was the one who mainly worked with us on projects around the finca. He has quite some experience on DYI construction projects of different kinds, especially working with wood. With his help we were able to finish several things that had been on … read more

The stay was absolute amazing. The house is so cosy and has a nice fireplace for the colder days. There is so much to do for what ever your qualities are. We did mostly DIY building, carpentry and harvesting olives.
Julie & Simone are two amazing people and can tell you everything about sustainability. But they are also amazing to have a laugh … read more
