Les activités qui nous intéressent :

We would love to spend time with and help, an individual, a family or community in a vaste range of activities. We are open and willing!

Description

We love meeting, learning from, listening to and talking with new people. We love nature, traveling, working, animals, good food…
We are responsible and can work independently. We "see" work!
My wife is Mexican, a true genius in cooking and is able to cook for groups. I always say: "Our Heavenly Father knew that my love goes through my belly" :-) You give her what can be found in the kitchen and she will in no time create an amazing menu. She is very inventive with the ingredients you will give her.
So... If someone in your family wants to take a break from cooking... try my lovely wife. You won't be disappointed!
I have had my own business for about 25 years in the construction and marketing of an antique type of a non-electrical coffee maker. That required me to be a good organiser and hands on, without however being a specialiste in a specific domain, as we employed specialized craftsmen.
But I was/am inventive and can solve many problems.
At home in Belgium we had a garden of about 300 m² with lots of grass , a few trees and chickens.
But since the beginning of september 2024 we are going mobile all the time, since I could happily retire.
We have been traveling in Mexico and the USA between november 2024 and march 2025.
We have been doing WorkAway in Spain from december 2023 to april 2024.
From april 2011 to september 2013 we stayed in Mexico where we helped, among others, a residing Englishman maintaining his huge biological garden.
So the kind of life that is typical for hosts who look for workawayers is familiar to us.
My educational background is that of a engineer in construction.
We are married since 1992, so more than 33 years.
We have 4 children in total, 2 boys and 2 girls. Only the last girl (2006), is still at home. We love our family. And surely hope we can love you too, as well as your family or community.
From 2010 on we started homeschooling our children.
Don't forget to check out our family pictures and the video in the photo section!
Our 2 boys have an online business and travel all the time, with a base in Bulgaria. We try to see them at various places worlwide.
And our eldest daughter got in june 2024 a baby boy with her man and they are also very moblie, thinking about moving to Portugal.
So if we want to see the baby or the children we need to move around.
Our youngest daughter is also traveling a lot. She just spent 4 months up to july 16th 2025 in Mussouri, USA. And continues to move around in Europe.
Sometines she is joining us but not during this trip.

Autres infos...
