Descripción
We both quit our 9to5 engineering job to help the world make a better place, trying to put our technical and other skills to use in an environmental and social way.
Janick can help you with technical stuff related to computers or other electronic devices, but he can also accompany you in birdwatching and exploring/taking care of nature. He is a freelance photographer/videographer. Examples on http://www.instagram.com/jcphotography1987
Janick has a passion for mother Earth in every sense. From being fascinated by how vegetables grow to understand how everything in nature is related. He has many interests that vary from gardening and hiking to renewable energy, minimalism and saving energy, to playing music, self-learning, and meeting (like-minded) people.
Back in Belgium, we had our own little city vegetable garden on the balcony growing our own red peppers, kohlrabi, salad, kale, tomatoes, and red cabbage.

Natalia is a real foodie, she is an amazing cook and can introduce you to the great Asian cuisine. She likes fresh local produce and can give an Asian twist to about everything but she can also think out of her Asian box and come up with such great recipes, preferably vegan. She has been a head chef in a professional restaurant for 2 months (through Workaway).
She doesn't mind physical labor as well and she is always up for learning in whatever way possible.
Natalia is really into upcycling and everything related to reusing materials (also in the kitchen).

We both love children (we don't have any yet) and can also help taking care of them. Janick has babysit experience for 10 years (kids ages 2 to 12) and loves being around children.

Conclusion: we can help you with all kinds of diverse things because we consider ourselves flexible. From technical geeky engineering stuff to nature-related tasks and everything in between...

The goal of a Workaway contact is to meet different people (characters, nationalities, traditions, ideas, etc.) and try to gain an understanding to each other.
As a initial tool for this effort, is used the deal “hospitality for volunteering”, in order to create and develop human relationships that will last longer than this initial meeting.

What an amazing experience living the Cretan life! Jiannis and Monika are such generous, kind-hearted, open-minded, interesting, and interested people. We stayed for 6 weeks and learned so much about them and their lifestyle. Making yogurt, bread, cheese, and other different Cretan dishes from scratch. And most products come right from their… read more

Elektra is truly a lovely person with a beautiful character. She made us feel so welcome before we even got there. She communicated well with us and we already had things in common before even arriving in her place. So when we eventually arrived in her place it was quite an experience. To be honest it was not what we expected. Everything was quite… read more

Janick & Natalia came during a period when I hardly could find the energy to get up in the morning and, together, they lift me up and saved me, my house and any other project who needed me to be focused. It can sound a bit dramatic as a feedback but it is totally honest. I was in a strange situation without the people skills to help me get out of… read more

Natalia and I volunteered for 7 weeks!
We arrived during Corona times and helped to build up the takeaway side because restaurants weren't allowed to have guests at that time.

Elfje hosted us in difficult times, and we appreciated that a lot! There was not so much work to do because her theater business was on hold so we tried to find some other tasks like fixing her computers and other electronics, planting vegetable seeds, and baking bread. And a whole lot of cooking... We liked it and we are glad we could help her in… read more

Lia and Janick were very considerate and laid back, which I like. You could see they were used to adapting to different housholds and they always had an open mind and intersted aditude, a curious non-judgemental interest in us and our way of life. They showed initiative and enthousiasm, they were eager to explore the nature all around us, they… read more

Britta and Luc are two beautiful souls who are very open and honest with their guests which we appreciated a lot.

Natalia and I stayed 11 days in Wes' place. At first we got along great. We really appreciate Wes opened his life and house to us, we discussed so many things during those 11 days, sometimes very close and personal. He has had an interesting life and if he's willing to talk with you about it, make sure you get next to the fireplace with him. And… read more
