Hi,
We are Willem (Dutch) and Kate (Australian) and we just moved to Australia from the Netherlands.
At some point in the future we would love to have our own self sustainable property and build an Eco/tiny house (possibly a campsite with different types of eco buildings.)
I (Kate) have spent a few years working on Farms in Europe and Australia learning more about Building and Self sufficiency, I've really enjoyed my time and met some amazing people.
I have a good working knowledge of Gardening and have a few years of experience with renovating/ eco building (cob, strawbale, wattle & daub, aircrete) and working with animals.
We are hard working and like learning new skills.
Willem enjoys learning electrician skills, renovating, Computers ( and has a good working knowledge of IT)
My main interests are eco building, woodworking, renovating, gardening and most creative projects.
We have been together nearly 8 years and enjoy working together and meeting new people.Centres d’intérêt
