Description

Hi All!

Our names are Jake and Monique, and we are two Aussies hoping to explore more of the world and learn some new ways of life.

Jake has worked in the family business as a Glazier, and across his travels has picked up work in landscaping, shearing sheds, cleaning and as a lifty! Monique grew up spending every holiday working at family farms and now has experience in retail, admin, babysitting, warehousing and operations.

We have known each other for 8 years, and have decided we want to see a little more of the world before settling down in any one place. We have been saving up for our travels and are very excited to learn new skills, experience new cultures and discover more about homesteading and sustainable living through Workaway.

We both love animals, and are especially interested in spotting new types of wildlife. We enjoy hiking, camping, snorkeling, yoga, skiing and general adventure! We would love to try rock climbing, fly fishing and learn a language. We are happy living with only the basics, and definitely do not mind jumping in and getting our hands dirty. We are both used to hard work and are fit and able-bodied.

We look forward to amazing experiences with hosts from all over the world and hope we can bring some of the Australian culture into your lives.

Life is what you make it!
