Descripción

Hi! We are Peter and Chi Chi,

I'm Peter and I'd love to learn more about permaculture and living self sustainable. I kept my own vegetable garden in the city for 4 years, after this I spend 2 years building my own campervan and thus learned a lot about carpentry. Now I am looking for a bigger playing field outside of the cramped city. My dream is to live together with my girlfriend, friends and likeminded spirits; self sustainable, in balance with ourselves, our surroundings and nature.
I realise that before we can make this happen we need to gain more experience and inspiration from others who are already living this dream. So when we are not working in the Netherlands we're traveling in our campervan and visiting communities and alternative ways of living along the way.

Besides my interests in living self sustainable and permaculture, I practice carpentry, photography, videography, hiking and rock climbing.

Since the beginning of this year (2023) I'm not traveling alone anymore but with a wonderful lady called Chi Chi. For about half a year we are now traveling together and we will be visiting places together.

Hi, my name is Chi Chi and I share a lot of interests and goals with Peter. I have had a vegetable garden in the city as well, where I made a geodome greenhouse, but realised that having a garden and travelling does not really work well together. After traveling for years, I don't want to live in the city anymore and share this dream with Peter to live somewhere self sustainable.
I have my own company (www.earthelements.nl) in plastic free and natural soap & shampoo bars and bodycare. This started when I wanted to use plastic free and natural body and haircare 10 years ago, but could not find this in the stores, so I started to make the products myself. This grew in to a company which I now manage online.
Besides that I am a massage therapist with different certificates. I am trained in relaxation massages, hot oil massages, chair massages, pregnancy massages aroma therapy and hammam treatments. My massage table travels with us.
When I am in the Netherlands I work freelance as a massage therapist and in a restaurant, besides running my company. I am a pretty good cook and love to create new dishes and learn new things in the kitchen. Recently I got in to gluten free sourdough bread baking. Because of a past surgery I cannot eat gluten, soy or certain diary products like yoghurt. This asks for some creativity, especially on the road, but this challenge makes it also more fun.

I know Peter for a few years now and our connection changed the past year by growing in to something beautiful. We would love to build a self sustainable future together, but to get there we need to learn a lot and hope to do this while visiting communities.
