Married couple & 6 month-old baby Freddie, from the UK, taking three months to have some adventures. Huge fans of Workaway - our best travel memories!
Beschreibung
Hello ☺️☺️
We are Alex, Elliot & Freddie from England.
In January 2025 we will be exploring one of our favourite countries, Spain, for three months whilst Alex is still on maternity leave. We have done over 13 Workaways on our recent two year trip attempting to travel from the UK to Australia without flying, and it's definitely our favourite way to travel!
As you can see from our feedback we are both hard-working, positive, friendly, and trust-worthy. We love volunteering through Workaway as it is a great opportunity to meet new people, slow down, spend time with locals and immerse ourselves in the country. We are open to all types of opportunity, and not afraid to try new things, or get our hands dirty :)
Traveling this time round will be different with our 6-month old baby, however life is for living, and we are excited to take him traveling and have some great experiences. With this in mind, we ask for flexibility from hosts as Freddie's schedule can be unpredictable. Even with a baby I'm sure we will still be great volunteers and can help you make some progress with your exciting project :)
All the best,
Elliot & Alex

Mel really cooks all her food with love and during our stay she showed us how to cook some of the dishes on their menu and we would always eat all together in the cafe. We also cooked some English meals for them; coronation chicken and… read more

This is the BEST hostel. The owners are all super lovely and hilarious, if we didn’t have anywhere to go next we could have easily stayed here a year!

We had a great time at the farm. Every morning we would let the animals out and feed them etc then we would walk down to the farm and we would mostly do a different task every day. We would always be working in groups so there was a good sense of community and we would all have tea breaks together.

Elliot and Alex are an enthusiastic young couple who not only work hard but also have a real curiosity about the lives they encounter through Workaway. They achieved a huge amount in the two weeks they were here, and maintained a positive attitude through wind, rain and mud.
