Description

Hello Workaway hosts!
Our names are Amber and Jordy, an Aussie girl and Irish guy. We are exploring the world together and exploring our place within it, living and growing outside the confinement of societies normal 9-5.
We are enthusiastic to learn from different people, in different places about different things and in turn, learn different things about ourselves :-)
We love to meet new people and share stories and laughter.
We hope that you feel a connection with us through our profile, and that we can learn from each other if you choose to host us 🌝🌱

Here is our little story...
We had both been solo travelling around Europe for 1-2 years before meeting in Portugal. At the time we were both volunteering in hostels and working in bars in the same town. From there we volunteered at an eco community together before travelling up the coast of Portugal wild camping on beaches. Unfortunately due to a tragic earthquake, our travel plans to morocco got canceled so we settled in Ireland for a bit - restless for the next adventure... Now we have come to Asia and we are excited to immerse ourselves in the cultures!!

Our travel style...
Spontaneous, slow, lots of volunteering, hitchhiking, house sitting, collaborating with other travellers along the way 🌏🛵💨

Why we choose to volunteer...
Travelling to lots of new places is great, but no experience can compare to when you stay in one place for a bit longer, living and interacting with local people and becoming familiar with the local environment. It allows you to learn more and create deeper connections to the people and place around you. The mutual bond between volunteers and hosts of sharing knowledge and experiences is very special within itself.

Volunteering experience (not all organised through workaway)...
Amber- Permaculture/eco farms in Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey and Portugal. Hostels in Portugal and Turkey.
Jordy- Hostels in Portugal, Spain and Thailand. Eco farm in Portugal.
