Of course we could teach you a bit of dutch... but I'm not sure if that is very useful ;) We're not really interesed in learning other languages, but we are interested in other cultures.
We also like to share our knowledge of the Dutch nature and ecosystems. We both work in forestry and we can also show you around in some of the most beautiful nature our country has.Help
Basically everyone is welcome to help us in any way you can. Wether you're creative, organized, strong, got 2 right hands, have perseverance and/or want to learn about our flora and fauna and help us spread this knowledge. We can easily think outside the box, so any help is welcome and we'll come up with something to do :)
I have ADD, am very chaotic and tend to hoard... and these last years things have gotten out of control. So it would be nice to have some people around to help us with tidying up! ("Does it spark joy? But yes, of course... it all does!")
Also I have many creative idea's, like making a mozaic on one of the boring, grey walls. I have all the tiles... Yet I don't have the time nor the experience for such art projects.
We also have some larger projects in mind, like building a porch, renovating the bathroom, etc.
But there is also always things to do around the house, with our organic garden and all the animals. So if you enjoy getting your hands dirty, that can be arranged!
There is a trial period, to see if you're a good match and we enjoy working together. If it is not a good match, we'll communicate it in a day or 2.Languages
