Description
Hey everyone :)
We are Alea and Luuk and we are currently doing a roadtrip with our Volvo (that we named Gopina) through Europe. So far we drove down from Germany towards Croatia and right now we are driving towards Turkey to visit some friends. After we're planning to drive back to Montenegro/ Albania /Croatia to do some workaway in one of those countries for about three weeks before we will go back to the Netherlands.
A little indroduction from each of us:
Heyy, my name is Alea and I am a 20 years old girl from Germany. I finished my highschool in Cologne three years ago and took two gab years after in which I traveled through Europe and South America and worked. While traveling I used workaway a lot to volunteer in different places and always had an amazing time. A year ago I then moved to Nijmegen in the Netherlands were I started studying Biology and just finished my first year :)
Elloo! I'm Luuk, 21 years old and originally from Zwolle which is located in the Netherlands. When I was 15 I started working in Restaurants next to going to school and after I finished highschool I started working full time as a cook. I then moved to Nijmegen and have been living there for 2 years now. This roadtrip is my first real travel experience and I'm really enjoying it so far. Now I'm also excited to stay somewhere for a bit longer and meet some nice people while volunteering.Interests

Skills Alea:
Like I mentioned before I did a lot of volunteering before: My first volunteering was on a farm in Sicily with horses and other animals and after I worked in a few hostels at the reception or helped cleaning and entertaining guests. I also volunteered in a language school and in a dog shelter before. Otherwise I have experience working as a waitress and with different animals. I like creative, social or outdoors work and am open to learn new things any time!
Skills Luuk:
My biggest passion as you could probably figure is cooking and working in the kitchen ;) .
I have a lot of experience as I worked in the kitchen for 6 years now and really enjoy people teaching me new skills and learning about different cultures. Working in the kitchen of course also includes cleaning and organizing. Outside of being a cook I also really like to paint and work with my hands and if you need help with anything I will always be motivated to do so.Age

Miss you Alea!
Every week it is just 3 days of helping for 2,5 hours. Some of the students speak English pretty good and I had really nice conversations.

The work is super chilled and not to much. It's 5 days/ 5 hours at the reception plus cooking for everyone now and then, depending on how many volunteers and staff there are. The work at the reception is super easy because the hostel is small so there is not a lot of… read more
Miss you, Alea! We hope you're well :)
