About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Love, to be, to develop sustainable products and to becoming a better person.

ABOUT US

We are a young family living in a farm in Rastenberg. We have our workshop here and we have moved to Germany for five years now.
We have traveled a lot throughout Europe to investigate what country would be best for us to live in. Germany offers good opportunities for startups and the realestate prices in this region are acceptable. In 2016 land costs about 25 euro/m2. This land is offered mostly with a building on it in reasonable condition.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all energy and part of the same system.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it brings the right people together somehow. We don't really understand why we make the choices that we do but our intuition is leading. I believe that Couchsurfing is a great tool to make this link possible over great distances.
