Description
From March 2017 till November 2018 we traveled overland from Europe to Central Asia, Mongolia and back to Europe. (Find us as "sixwheelseast" on Instagram if you're curious.) Through this overland experience we've become quite adept at mechanical work on the car and motorbike, chopping wood for campfires and managing all the administrative work that goes with driving across the globe in our own vehicles.
Currently we are on our second overland trip. December 2019 we flew to Chile where our South-American adventure started. After buying a car in Santiago we headed south till the pandemic started. Now we are searching for places where we can stay several weeks, just to keep a low profile during the pandemic and make ourselves useful.

A bit more about us:
Loes has a master's degree in Organisation Studies and worked as project manager at the Dutch postal agency, focussed on the human side of the organisation. Currently she started working remote as a virtual assistant.
Harm followed his bachelor's degree in Leisure Studies with a master's in Marketing Communication. He then worked at an online marketing agency in Rotterdam, focussed on Google's advertising and web analytics tools. Currently he is working remote as well on these topics.
We're not necessarily looking to work in these areas but if you have any questions regarding those topics we are glad to help you out.

This was a great experience! This couple are smart, adaptable and easy-going. I had a bunch of varied jobs that needed doing at my cabin. They both were able to contemplate the tasks, problem solve and COMPLETE the jobs. I asked them to make a tire staircase going down to the beach and Loes did a tire foundation under my house. Harm built two… read more

Another great Workaway experience! We contacted Lorraine really last-minute, so we were extra happy everything worked out for both parties. Lorraine has so many ideas for new projects, so you won't be bored. We have done some things in and around the garden, built a staircase from car tires, painted the house, built wooden benches, and made a… read more

Really cool workaway experience in Santiago! Our planned 2-3 weeks resulted in a 2,5 month stay. Doesn't that say enough?
As it was high season during our stay we could do a variety of tasks around and inside the house to make sure everybody else was able to do their job.
Noam, thanks a lot for your hospitality!!

Last november we spend two weeks at this amazing place. It for sure was a different workaway experience than we had before! All kind of things are happening in and around the workplace / community.

We had two amazing weeks with Zane, Sebastian and the other volunteers. Zane and Sebastian took good care us. I liked having the meals together and sharing experiences and travel stories.

Since it was low season, the campsite was quiet. Which made it a really peaceful place. Our tasks consisted of landscaping, cleaning, cooking and construction… read more

I don't think I ever stayed in a hostel with an atmosphere as awesome here. To be part of that for three weeks was a privilege. The way I felt at home. The way all of us made the guests feel at home. All volunteers boomerang back here at some point and I'm sure we will too. I only hope someone changed the music on the roof by then.

We had a great stay at Aigul's hostel. We helped her with marketing related questions. One of the things we did was designing maps and signs to hang around the hostel. The job was really flexible. We could plan it ourselves. Which was perfect because we also had to visit some mechanics for our vehicles.

Our last two weeks in Malaysia we spent at Breinda's place, which was absolutely fantastic! The work itself was not hard. Keeping the place clean, watch out the property when Breinda wasn't there and taking care of the two playful dogs. Breinda is a lovely host, she makes delicious meals and can tell you a lot about the local culture. I would… read more

Wow! We are so lucky to have Harm & Loes help us for two weeks in March. They are both hardworking and resourceful, I hardly have to tell them what to do. They helped with a last minute project repainting our hall ceiling, as well as general maintenance and housekeeping. Excellent communication skills too. We wish them the best in their future… read more

My girlfriend and I stayed for 4 weeks and had an amazing time! Man is a great host. We directly fell in love with the treehouse.Even though it is still under construction, the place is amazing.

We stayed little over a week with Dawn, Tosh, Ben & Zeke and we enjoyed every minute of it! From the moment we walked in we felt right at home. They're extremely hospitable and took great care of us. The food is sooo delicious. I think we are spoiled for the rest of our trip! We had lots of fun with the other volunteers as well. It was a great… read more
