Our next destination:
Carcassonne, France - from Sep 2025 until Jun 2026 View all
Description
We just started and looking for a first Workaway adventure!
Daria: I like tiny things in life that bring me joy, like drawing, taking random photographs, singing, making gifts for my friends and family, collecting stones and sticks, making mini-gardens, drinking tea with sweets, riding a bike in a rural area. I learned with time, that collaboration with people on things we mutually love also brings a lot of great revelations and joy. Meanwhile, my biggest passion is drawing and my dream is to hear stories from people i meet and make short comics out of this memories :))
Aleks: outdoors bring me the most joy just as much as someone’s garden, new or rediscovered book, and simple good food as well. One of my goals is to buy and renovate an old house in Japan, so I’m eager to learn anything in that regard.

What else ...
We play Carcassonne (the board game) professionally haha.
When we go hiking, our special thing is to make walking sticks (wizards style!).
Our passion is growing things on a land and indoors - we have a lot of plants and some trees, all started from seeds.
Another thing is special physical activities such as gymnastics, fencing, acrobatics, climbing, horse riding - have to stay athletic, you know.
Tea with mint, coffee and beer are our most beloved drinks (especially with a good tobacco roll or a pipe).
