Travelling
Description
Hi! We are Lauren (UK) and Armando (Mexico). We love to travel, meet new people and learn about different cultures. We enjoy slow travel and like to spend long periods of time in one place to soak up as much as we can before moving on. The beauty of nature and the connection with others brings us much joy and we are huge animal lovers! We are sociable people and have traveled to many different countries, we believe traveling changes our life, opens our eyes to a new perspective and offers us a different mindset.

Lauren:
I am a reliable, well organised and hard working person. I can adapt well to different tasks and I am a quick learner, I am friendly and enjoy helping others. I have previously worked as a team leader at a coffee shop which gave me leadership and customer service skills.
I now work as a Virtual Assistant providing freelance admin support to businesses, my high organisation skills makes me ideal for this job, I also create content for newsletters, blogs and social media. I only work a few hours a week and my hours are flexible meaning I have the time to volunteer and experience the countries that I visit.
I love to be around animals and I have worked in various places with animals including horse stables, dog shelters and reservation projects. I also love to work in hotels, guest houses and co-living houses.
My volunteer experiences:
Environmental management, protecting an environment where wildlife lived this included cleaning the land and removing dangerous/poisonous objects.
Invasive species eradication project that I took part in South Africa this was maintaining the habitat of wild animals in a protected land so it would be safe for them, this role included taking part in anti poaching projects.
An animal shelter in Greece with over 30 animals including dogs, cats, horses and donkeys.
Housekeeping and organisation of Airbnb’s in Greece.
Co-living in Montenegro which included housekeeping and organisation of guests and activities.
