Description
Hi travellers! We are Lauren and Dani, and we've recently started a home and garden renovation project in beautiful Broome, WA.
We are seeking enthusiastic, creative tradie types who are keen to explore Broome from a comfortable home base not far from town beach and all Broome and the stunning Kimberley region has to offer.
We are keen to support a cultural exchange, and take visitors on some adventures - in Broome you are spoilt for choice with great beaches, fishing, camping, hiking and arts and culture events year round.
Our home is a social place with lots of gardening and building activity underway but theres always time to prepare good meals together and enjoy some downtime and your own projects and interests too.
We love to host artists, DIY enthusiasts and activists throughout the year to rest, re-energise or work on their own projects here. Day to day Lauren run's a not for profit community development program installing solar projects in remote Indigenous communities in the Kimberley and Northern Territory, and Dani is a psychology student and training to facilitate Kundalini activation.
We speak mainly speak English, pocito Espanol, and Maori. We love to create a welcoming place for travelers who enjoy making meaningful contributions as they experience new places and cultures. We are active in many projects for racial, environmental and social justice and our home is LGBTIQ-friendly. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Broome is a stunning tropical and beachside paradise with alot to offer travelers wanting a genuine and rewarding experience in remote and outback Australia and the Kimberley. Through our work there are opportunities for cultural exchange with local Indigenous communities, and we are well connected across the Kimberley and Northern Territory with other communities and workaway opportunities and could assist with linking you up with other networks and work during your travel.

Help
While we are in a renovation stage we are keen to support workaways with handy skills in basic landscaping, painting, DIY building skills in steel, woodworking and general repairs. We would love help on any of these activities if they align with your interests and skillset. I always find I learn alot from visitors working alongside on joint projects and love to share my knowledge too.
Knowledge and interest in tropical food gardening and animal care is also a big plus (we have two dogs and need to go away for work sometimes so would love to know I could potentially leave them with good company).
Workaway engagements are on a voluntary basis usually exchanging 3 hours per day labour for accommodation and some shared meals. Dani is a mean chef and we are always keen to share and learn, growing and using lots of local produce.
We welcome travelers who are interested in staying in the Broome region for a minimum of a week but could be up to a month depending on the right fit. -
