    Hi! We are Robin (23) and Helena (23).
    Robin has recently completed a masters degree in Mechatronics and Robotics whilst Helena is working for a charity based in Leeds. Helena studied History and Spanish, so as you can see together we have a broad array of interests.
    Saying that, one thing we both agree on is that we would love to spend as much time in our lives as possible exploring and discovering the world around us.
    We both have plenty of volunteering experience:
    -We volunteered at an NGO and school in Cambodia where we lived with a local family and taught English classes for 4 to 5 hours a day.
    -Helena has worked as a Volunteer Coordinator for a health-care charity, recruiting and managing volunteers, as well as developing the volunteer campaign. Helena also regularly volunteers at a local charity helping children with non-english-speaking parents with their homework.
    With respect to our free time, we love to explore the outdoors and enjoy country walks, while in Leeds we had direct access to the beautiful Yorkshire dales. Robin was also part of a Comedy Society and writes and acts sketch shows, he has a hidden dramatic side that could perhaps be beneficial to some hosts!
    Additionally, We have both worked in an office (Robin was a Mechatronics Engineer and Helena a Volunteer Coordinator) and therefore have developed our interpersonal and communication skills.
    Robin also worked part time organising the administration of a website, which has especially developed his communication skills and offers him a chance to retain his Spanish fluency via translation. This makes him specially qualified to share his knowledge of computers.
    Helena has also worked part time in her local village shop, helping her to really engage well with her local community. By committing to our jobs, we are able to demonstrate how committed we would be to Workaway projects, ensuring that we offer to the best quality services and make our visit worthwhile for everybody involved.
    Helena is aware of the importance of the English Language worldwide, and as part of her determined attitude to be able to share her knowledge of English, she has completed a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course which have given her the teaching skills necessary engage students in a classroom environemnt.
    We are keen travellers and are open to travel any country, since we believe that every destination has a diverse and unique culture, ready to be experienced. We are particularly interested in adding value to the local comunities we visit through sharing out knowledge and skills with them. Therefore we hope to leave a positive impact on the people we meet and the places we visit in exchange for unforgetable life experiences.
    We are keen to try out any jobs or take on the opportunity to learn any new skills that are available for us to try our hands at. We endeavour to fully immerse ourselves in any experience that comes our way, whether it be into community lifestyle, a school, or in a guest-house - we intend to give us as much as we can, in order to reap the benefits of offering our voluntary skills to any project or organisation.
