Klee: 26, Landscape Developer /Bio-science Engineer

Marte: 26, Urbanist / Landscape designer

Hello, we are Marte and Klee from Belgium! We have been together for three years and are leaving for Australia next October to travel, discover, learn and work on a working holiday. 🙂

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We both grew up with pets inside and outside the house, so we know how important it is for petowners that they are taken good care of! When travelling we enjoy some comfort in the towns/cities next to the van/tent-life. We're used to take care of a houshold and love to do this for others as well!

Hello! We were born and raised in Ghent (Belgium) but we are both travelers as well! After some individual longer travels and some shorter travels togheter, we decided it was time for a big adventure togheter: to the land down under! Some background about us:

Marte studied architecture but has been working in urban/landscape planning for the last 2.5 years. Before that she travelled around Asia for half a year. She is someone who likes to experiment with different creative hobbies like ... Read moreHello! We were born and raised in Ghent (Belgium) but we are both travelers as well! After some individual longer travels and some shorter travels togheter, we decided it was time for a big adventure togheter: to the land down under! Some background about us:

Marte studied architecture but has been working in urban/landscape planning for the last 2.5 years. Before that she travelled around Asia for half a year. She is someone who likes to experiment with different creative hobbies like sewing, fermenting and a lot of DIY projects around the house. She loves running, pilates/yoga and tennis.

Klee studied bioscience engineering, worked a few years in hydraulics but has now finished a study in landscape development. He is a bird and plant enthusiast with a growing passion for edible plants. He plays different sports such as tennis, running and muay thai. Indoors, he likes to read or play music.

Together, we love to hike, going out for a drink and we love good food! We're always interested in the culture of our destination and the customs that come with it.

travelTravel plans

When arriving in the beginning of October in Melbourne, we are looking for a place to stay untill the end of the month (max) to settle in, get all our preparation going (find a car, phone number, ...) needed for our journey. We want to explore the city and take care of any pets in the meantime!

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
