Description

Hi there!

We are Paul en Ellen from the Netherlands. In May 2023 we started our new life on the road as overlanders. Overlanding is a way of travelling, slowly, usually with a 4×4 to access remote and off the beaten tracks. It’s not about reaching the destination fast, but merely about the journey and embarking on an adventure and experience the unexpected.

We have extended this way of travelling to our lifestyle. Longing to discover the world, learn about it, its beautiful places and its flaws, and being free is something we desired.

Through WorkAway we hope to connect to people locally, learn their way of living, hear their stories and learn their cultures.

We are both independent and responsible hard workers for any kind of work, might it be house-sitting, helping in or around the house/farm, take care of animals, teaching, getting some administration in order, or running errands. We love to learn new things, and hope to make this possible trough WorkAway.

Besides the day-to-day tasks we also gained different skills during our studies and work experiences that could also be of use.....
