ABOUT US:
We are Aurelija & Ed a couple from Lithuania lovers of travel, adventure and everything that is new and different from our culture. We're pretty laid back, friendly and open-minded, always keen to learn about other cultures and way of life. We have both lived in the UK for a long time, have travelled a lot around Europe and a little bit beyond in Africa and Asia. We think travelling is a super fun and exciting way to grow as people and really appreciate the world's beauty and our differences. Meeting new people and seeing new places makes us happy so we have decided to leave our jobs in the UK and join the Workaway community full time.
OUR HOBBIES (in a nutshell 🥜):
We love peaceful nature and hectic vibrant cities, basically anything that is new and different from western culture. We are usually out exploring the city or out in the nature. We both love to cook and are happy to share our take on European and Indian food 🥘 Ed is very active and likes to go to the gym, listen to podcasts, stand-up comedy and gaming. I'm into yoga, movies, documentaries and love talking about philosophical things and theories ha! Also a sucker for learning new things 🤓
We love getting out in the nature, relaxing at the beach, hiking, cycling, farming and animals (especially dogs 🐶).
This is not a hobby, but very important to mention, we're very clean, tidy and respectful to others space 💚
OUR TRIP:
We visited Japan earlier this year and it was completely mesmerising; the people, the culture, the nature 😍. We completely fell in love with it and are super happy that we'll be back for a working holiday this September 🕺🏽💃🏻 We are very excited to learn about Japan in more depth, especially the local way of life. We don't speak Japanese yet but are looking forward to learning the language during our year there. We are hoping to stay in each city/place for around a month, but our trip is not planned so our schedule is flexible, we are open to ideas and will know more once we start the trip ✨
