Descripción
We are Rindert and Lieke, a couple from the Netherlands, currently living in Bakkes, our self-built home on wheels.
First of all, let us tell you why we are on Workaway. We want to meet people who've decided to take the step out of the 'rat race' and are finding a different style of living. More connected to (the pace) of nature and more connected to their surroundings. Workaway, as it showed us before, is the perfect way of finding those people, learning from them and contributing to their projects.
We would one day love to have our own piece of land, possibly in community, to live in connection with nature, to garden according the principles of permaculture, to build our own house, to create our own paradise. And we would love to get inspired by and learn from people who are building theirs.
Let us tell you a little bit more about what makes us happy!
Rindert:
As a child I grew up in a renovation of a farm, helping with different things. I have been creating many things since I was a child, everything around the theme of craftmanship. I'm always open to learn new skills and teach others some of mine.
Oh and not to be left unmentioned: I love and live Reggae music.
Lieke:
I looovee to be around people, in community, to co-create, play and connect. Acro-yoga, making music, singing, dancing.
I love to have long philosophical talks about life, to read books and talk about it.
Together with Bakkes, our van, we are enjoying the outdoor life. Being in nature, hiking, camping, rock-climbing, surfing, or just sitting and enjoying.Intereses
