Description
Hello ciao hola oi!
We are a Brazilian-Argentinian couple living together for 10 years, the last two and a half in Europe. For us, WorkAway is our current nomad-style of life. Thanks to part of our ancestors being from Italy, we are EU citizens and so we are free to move around.
We enjoy discovering cultures, trying new food recipes and sharing our learned ones, and meeting people from all over the world. We love art and culture, we are always doing cultural activities, when not going for a hike or bike trip. We are experts in finding free things to do and always prefer the local people's way than the packaged tourist kind.

We are flexible to diverse kind of jobs and WorkAway experiencies depending on our availability, time of year, etc. Besides WorkAway, in the last year we also worked in the hospitality sector, with roles both in housekeeping and in restaurants. In summary, we have done: hospitality (from B&Bs to a 4 start resort and even a private island! doing from housekeeping to service and kitchen jobs), gardening, painting, restoration, decoration, pet-sitting, cooking, serving, some wood chopping and building, cleaning spaces and beaches, some maintenance, house-sitting, carub harvesting, etc... We are adaptable and just ask for one basic precept: to be fair (which goes both sides of course!) and treat others as equals and not cheap labour. That and to learn from each other we believe is/should be the spirit of WorkAway :)

Ana is an artist and languages teacher who loves to help people and believes that by supporting and trusting each other we'll make a better world for everyone. Worked away before through other platforms, mostly in Ecuador and Perú, in different roles like farm worker, hostel attendant, translator, etc. Enjoyed a lot those experiences and looking forward to going back on the road!

Lucas has also traveled on his own before and had great experiences with Couchsurfing (we also hosted people when living in Italy), WarmShowers, etc. Love both the life in the city as well as the countryside, having done for example a bicycle tour through Patagonia, good occasion also for his passion for photography. His background is wide, from some studies in History, work in IT and more. Can do a lot of things from gladly help with some computer stuff to mow the grass... but preferably not at the same time! xD

We stayed for a month at Dorian and Elenas's chateau. One of those special experiences, to learn and to remember. A unique place, with so much history in every nook, in such a beautiful French region, near Angers. Although the winter weather was not very inviting for walking, it was beautiful to see the idyllic landscape changing between fog,… read more

We could never have imagined ourselves to be trapped in a very small island for 6 weeks, and then we were. It wasn't a curse, but a gift. It wasn't Moreau's, but Lissa and Corne's experiments. Oh we mean culinary tasty experiments. Don't worry, bellies happy. Were there dangers? Well... were the boars real? they weren't as though as us and only… read more

We spent some weeks with Heidi and Des and the time flew!
They have a beautiful place and you can see the warm and hard work they had put to make it as it is in a lot of details. Our caravan was also very nice and cozy, painted and decorated by previous volunteers. With the known Irish wheater it could get chilly, but the electric stove helped… read more

Ana and Lucas were very friendly and easy to communicate with, very reliable. I had some work done in the house last minute and they adapted! They spoiled the animals! Lucas cooked delicious spinach empanada.Dogs were walked a lot. They also worked online, so the animals had company. My cat had to take some medicine and they made sure he got it.… read more

We had a great time petsitting for Geraldine, we miss her lovely dogs and cats!
It was a pleasure to walk the dogs through the beach, the park, the forest (we hope and send our wishes so it remains as it is and they don't destroy it!). Each one was very adorable on their one way, crazy Sherlock, never tired Mazikeen and the old sister Joy, it was… read more

With some petting every day and letting him cuddle on our bed now and then, Pancho allowed us to enter his home and to meet David and Francoise. Just for the opportunity to get to know some of David prolific works, art pieces and stories, while enjoying his sense of humour worth the visit. His writtens on the climate are not just ink on paper but… read more

Our six weeks at Karrantza were a great experience in all aspects, from the work and the shared moments to the walks in the beautiful surroundings.
The work consisted on different tasks (such as sand and paint furniture, bars, walls, cleaning, etc.) on the restoration of a building with a lot of history. A great goal: to give a new life to an old… read more

It was an excellent experience. We were able to rest and relax, as the place is really quiet and close to nature. The surrounding woods are beautiful and we arrived at mushroom-picking time, which was a fun adventure. The food was great and they were always very generous, you could eat as much as you felt you needed. Lucas's work and mine were… read more
