Description
Hello there!
We are a couple from Rotterdam, the port city of The Netherlands. Although we love our city, we also like to travel a lot and have seen many countries all over the world.

We love backpacking, wild camping, hiking, fishing, ice bathing, second hand shopping, baking, cooking with fresh & organic food, reading, philosophizing, yoga and meditating.

Back home Maarten is a painter and Joy owns an antique/vintage and handmade jewelry business. She also assists with different types of ceremonies. And we are eager to learn new stuff in all kind of fields!

We have a lot of workaway experience. Such a cool thing to do! Helping eachother and connecting with other people. And to be in nature brings us in harmony and happiness.

We are two open minded spirits and love to meet new people to creatie new adventures with!

Joy and Maarten were a pleasure to have around, bringing fun and laughter to the south coasts recent dramatic times. They completed all the tasks we asked of them, with enthusiasm.

Joy (perfectly named) and Marteen slipped smoothly into our lives and we enjoyed our time with them very much. Their work ethic was excellent and Marteen sorted a big problem of a crumbling bank by digging it back then shoring up the timber… read more
