Descripción
Since September 2022, we (Joost and Maaike) have been travelling on our bikes for an indefinite time. We left our comfortable home and jobs to embark on this adventure, a dream come true! Back home (Leiden, the Netherlands), Maaike worked on reducing the plastic (pollution) problem and Joost worked on accelerating the energy transition. We both love outdoor sports (surfing, bouldering, hiking) and like to be outside and meet new people. We both care greatly about nature and preserving the world around us, and feel that cycling is the best way to enjoy the beauty in the world while holding on to these ideals.

During our trip we have visited several eco-/ community projects in the south of Portugal. We worked ar two Workaways in Andalucia, and helped to build a self sufficient permaculture project in Tuscany.

We look forward to learn more about (eco) agriculture, permaculture, creative/building projects, meeting new people and discovering beautiful new places along the way. We hope you will be part of our adventure!

I love learning new things, connecting with people and understanding what others are passionate about. I play some guitar, surfing and outdoor sports in general and am getting more and more into videography (also brought my camera on this big trip)

In one word: Wow! Caro, Ty and the kids have been so good to us, and the connection during our time with them felt so special! In our 2.5 year cycling world trip (and many workaways), this was the place where we felt most at home. We liked it so much, that after spending the whole of December helping with the school preparations, we explored the… read more

Our experience hosting Joost and Maaike was inspirational, transformative and simply amazing. They didn't only came ready to work hard and make a real impact in our school project and home but they've integrated with our family culture and the local culture in a very especial way. We can't wait to have them back one day soon to work together and… read more

Joost and Maayke stayed with us for a few weeks, and we could not have wished for a better team than these two. You can really see that they are dedicated workers, they enjoy being outside, are not afraid to get their hands dirty and have a mentality that can best be defined as world-class-commitment.

They upgraded our home with their easygoing,… read more

This was truly the perfect Workaway for us! Thomas and Waleria are amazing people and have a very special place in the South of Tuscany. Staying with them for ~5 weeks was one of the best parts of our 1 year trip. We stayed in the beautiful glamping tipi where we had enough privacy and comfort and the best view! The help was great, we helped… read more

We had a lovely time at Rob and Nic's place for around 3 weeks over the holidays. After four months of travelling we needed a place for ourselves to wind down and enjoy some peace and quiet, and the little casita was perfect for this. Rob and Nic were very accommodating and let us be there even during their family holiday. This was exactly what we… read more
