Description

We are a professional couple from London about to embark on a career break in order see a bit more of our wonderful world! We love food and culture and meeting new people.
We have enjoyed holidays to all sorts of places and cannot wait to take an extended trip now that it is getting easier to travel again.

We love trying new things and having adventures. We like the history of a place and learning the myths and legends that the locals share. Joining WorkAway is so exciting and we can't wait to be immersed in a place and give back, as it's the perfect way to be truly involved in local custom and culture. We are hardworking, conscientious and happy to help!

Anja (32yrs): Back in 2013 I worked for the British Council and taught English for a summer in Thailand and this experience definitely ignited a passion for travel. I have worked with children for years and I'm looking forward to travelling again to meet local families, revisiting some of my favourite destinations as well as taking on new adventures!

Michael (35yrs): I have split my working career between physical jobs and customer service so I feel I am very personable and very happy to get hands on with almost anything. I have been continuously employed since my early teens so have never travelled apart from short holidays. I am very eager to travel to different places, experience different cultures and see the world.

More details about my language interests
We are both very keen to delve into the culture of anywhere that we go, so would be strict with ourselves to try and pick up the local language. We are also keen to support the teaching and learning of English if this is useful to the local community.
