Made in Canada but cannot stay

Get to know us a little bit better
We are the Hagenaars Family and we go on some crazy adventures.

We renovate, make crafts, DIY's and go on vacations. We are a busy family and we hope you stick around and join us on our adventures.

Meet Willem

Willem is 15 years old and he is an awesome big brother. He just finished grade 9 this year and he is looking forward to starting grade 10 in El Salvador. He loves animals and hopes we get another dog one day. His favourite thing to do is play video games!

Mommy charity

They call me mommy and I started this whole thing. I decided a few years ago that my family should have a YouTube channel and it spiralled from there. I just retired at the end of June 2024 and I am really looking forward to moving to El Salvador and starting the next part of my life there, this time working for the Lord.

Laurens

Here is Laurens

Laurens is our special boy, full of energy and the life of the party. If there is a stage and a microphone, look out. He is 14 years old and he just finished grade 8. He is on the Autism spectrum and he keeps us on our toes.

Papa GJ

GJ has been the stay at home dad for most of our kids lives, he ran our motel up until we closed it down in 2019. He was involved in several start-ups, writing software and doing consulting work. He is looking just as forward to going to El Salvador as me.
