Hello there!
We are Doreen & Jesper - an outdoor-minded couple that is planning to embark onto a new adventure from April onwards! :)
Doreen was born in Germany, Jesper in The Netherlands.
Since 2019 we live in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and consider ourselves lucky to experience the majestic beauty of the Great White North.
As much as we appreciate Canada being so welcoming, sometimes we still miss things over here that are only to find in Europe. Therefore, we're planning to make new life experiences in certain parts of Europe, doing what we love most: gardening, farming, taking care of animals and DIY projects. Through Work Away we would like to connect with like-minded people, learn new skills, explore new communities, cultures and places and perhaps find a new place to call home along the way.Centres d’intérêt
