We are Christina and Jan, a young couple from Germany, which loves to spend time in nature and especially in mountain areas. Therefore we decided to go to Patagonia.

In our daily life I (Christina) work with young people (age from 16-25) helping them to find and apply for a job. I love to help and explain things to people, I am creative, idealistic, optimistic and like to make the world a bit more loveable: follow your dreams instead of fear! I love challenges and love to learn from new experiences, unknown situations and new people.

My husband is a passionate engineer, who loves to design and construct things. Since he has discovered wood working our home has not only by his presence but now also for furniture a home for me. Always knowing there is especially for technical problems a solution, he never gives up until he has found it. Other than that he loves to get to know the world, to learn about himself and intense talks. This is also why it's important for him to still manage to meet his friends from the time he lived abroad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is a miracle, which supplies us always with new energy sources to realize our ideas - if we trust and believe it will work. I had the chance to experience that, when I quit my old job in product management and began to follow my heart!
