  • Description

    Hi! We are Daan (24) and Inge (23) and together with our dog Bent and our magnificent mobile home, we are planning to travel Europe at a slow pace.

    Once we knew we had to leave our current rental apartment, we decided to seize the opportunity to travel around without a timeline. We love meeting new people and exchanging cultures, knowledge, skills, and hobbies.

    When it comes to Workaway, we prefer to stay at a place for a longer time. This is to experience the way of living in another place/culture. Another aspect of staying at a place for a longer period is that you can fully engage in a project! We would love to make some impact at our workaway spot.

    About Daan:
    I'm a friendly and open-minded person who loves to engage in conversations that may shift my perspective. I work in IT and have a thing with technology, but also love the outdoor life.

    Two years ago I stumbled upon Workaway during my travels in Canada. Most memorable was seeing how other people live their life and discuss the choices they made in them. During my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar, swimming, going for walks with Inge & Bent and I play a card game called Magic the Gathering.

    About Inge:
    I’m an industrial product designer with a (not so) secret obsession for bicycles. I love working with my hands, which means you can find me sewing, woodworking, drawing, building bicycles, gardening, or doing anything that involves making something from nothing. I love a challenge and get my energy from solving things in unexpected ways.

    My shepherd mix Bent is my shadow, which means I go almost anywhere with him beside me. Although his appearance might suggest otherwise, he is a curious, goofy, and friendly dog, who is always in for an adventure. Together we often take long hikes, go cycling, rollerblading, supping, or swimming (with a bit of encouragement). From an early age, we’ve taken Bent everywhere, which means he is used to a lot of weird situations or environments and is not easily intimidated. Bent goes along well with other dogs, people, and (young) children. He is also fine with other pets once his boundaries are made clear.
