Description
We are a mature couple and we have been travelling around Europe in about 9 month in 2022/23. We have been working in Germany, Austria, France and Italy. It has been a challenging and exciting experience meeting many lovely and interesting people.
In 2024 we spend 2 months in India,
working in Delhi and Punjab. It was a great experience to work in the fields together with local farmers.
Helle is a certified psychologist and Henrik is retired after 50 years in emergency services. We love travelling to different places meeting local people and exchange experiences and knowledge. It really brings us happiness to learn and experience different ways of living and to contribute to common projects and goals.
We have experience from our own projects, and now also from workaway, in building construction and restoration, as well as farming and gardening. Helle is creative in gardening and Henrik is the handyman.
Of course we can still learn a lot, and since we luckily are in very good shape, no illness at all and fully vaccinated and insured. We look forward to new experiences.

We stayed with Shirley and Olek for two weeks, and it was a great experience to follow the ever optimistic Shirley in daily life and cooking and Olek as the thinking artist 🎨 . Our work was well planned, and it was easy to fulfil the tasks in the house. We will proceed our journey with good memories from an amazing village.
