Descripción

Hi! We are Grazia (26) and Oliver (27). We got married last year and now want to travel around Canada for about a year.
We already travelled through Alberta, the Yukon and are currently in BC.
We would like to learn more about a self sufficient lifestyle, gardening and new places and people.

After getting our bachelors degree at college, we have been working as social workers for a christian organisation (drug-therapy and mother-child House) for the past 2,5 years. We are now looking for new adventures and want to find out what kind of projects we want to invest in on a long term in the future.

Some more information about the two of us:

I (Grazia) have grown up on my parents organic farm in Italy for all of my childhood until I was 18 years old. For college I moved back to Germany, where my parents originally come from. I speak fluent german, italian, english and basic french.
I owned two horses for 10 years.
I have always enjoyed working with my hands. I love painting, knitting, sewing and crafting in general. In the past years I became very interested in healthy nutrition, so Oliver and I started an organic garden on a little piece of land we could use and we became very passionate about it.
I also love processing food from our garden or food we find growing wild (canning, dehydrating etc.)
After a couple years of living a "normal" german life I get more and more interested in getting back to a more simple life style like the one I grew up in.

I (Oliver) love nature and I am looking forward to great outdoor adventures in Canada :)
I don´t have much experience in intercultural exchange so far, but I am a very open person and I am pretty much happy wherever I am :)
At home I spent most of my working time in the office, but I can´t wait to get away from the computer and do more practical work. I would especially like to increase my skills in carpentry (I have basic experience with different machines like chain saw ect.), beekeeping, building things, energy generation etc...

I am also studying electrical engineering online at the moment and want to complete all classes during the next months while work&travelling. I would like to gain practical experience in this area, if I get the chance to because so far it is just a lot of theory.
After our first experience with gardening I developed an enthusiasm about farm life.
I am not an expert but I am very willing and interested to learn new things.
