Description
Hi there! We are Siti and Jeff!
Introduction
We have been traveling 2 months together in Japan exploring food and ways of life and now ready to fly somewhere new! We are pretty excited to see what experiences await and get to know about the culture and of course sharing food together. We are seeking an exchange to teach each other new things and learn something interesting as well. We both have different sets of skills and backgrounds that we can bring. Hope you can have us to help you and share quality time towards great friendships.
Jeff: I am from Seattle Washington USA. I have finished more then 30 work exchange projects now around the world and love so much to help people that I'm looking for more ways to volunteer! I have experience in hospitality, restaurant work, elderly care, customer service, garden and housekeeping. I really enjoy outdoor work and have lots of experience with farming, animal care, gardening and construction. I love plants and animals most of all and have spent the last couple years trying to work more toward my passions. My hobbies are cooking, garden, serving others, and always learning. I have worked in many kitchens and would love to learn some recipes and delicious things to cook. I love culture and day to day life immersion and feeling a part of the environment. Hope we can meet soon and serve you.
Siti: I am a really easy going person . Quite shy at first but easy to make friend after . I do like helping around the home, such as doing laundry, cleaning and making things smell nice. I also like to learn new cultures since my family origin is from Indonesia but I was born in Malaysia and can share with you some culture from my family. Sometimes i do like karaoke , cooking and reading books or watching movies to spending my free time from work. I have experience in massage, restaurant work, and taking care of children . I hope i will get the opportunity to learn as much as i can and help a lot of people at the same time pursue my dreams too . See you guys soon :)

It was a joy having Jeff and Jordan help at the vineyard--both times they came. They brought a ton of energy, and were willing, even eager, to work long hours when there was a need for it. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the only helper I've ever had who worked harder than Jordan was Jeff.
