Description
We are a Guyanese-Russian creative couple that had been living in Catalunya for the last 8 years and found Workaway in 2024.

We are deep art lovers - we express ourselves in all ways that we find excitement in along our life journey - it extends from digital art, blockchains to creating food and building businesses and building natural art pieces with our bare hands.

First and foremost, we are entrepreneurs, and we enjoy building brands businesses that support conscious evolution in the world.

What Anthony says about Anya:

"Anya is one of the most sweet and considerate soul you can get the pleasure of meeting. She leads with heart and serve with her many talents. The foundations of her daily practices are yoga, qigong and a clean and nutritious plant based diet.

She carries many creative skills with her, including entrepreneurship, vegan baking, pottery making, video editing and content creation as well as a talent for curating and facilitating ceremonies that connect us to the moment.

I’m bias, but she is the embodiment of the sacred feminine and it’s a blessing to share my journey with her."

What Anya says about Anthony:

"Anthony has a very very big kind heart that allows him to serve the world from a place of service to every human being. He has lots of natural gifts that he is discovering as he is growing and expanding on Earth: he is a creator, generator, a mood lifter, an opportunity spotter, a risk taker, a deep feeler and a serial entrepreneur.

Anthony loves creating and experimenting with his bare hands, from building furniture, dinners, and painting spiritual Art, he's also passionate about technology and has deep knowledge and experience with emerging technologies (Blockchain, AI). He is an ever evolving form and he loves a challenge!"

We love building businesses and brands that support creators to live and work on their own terms. We would love our workaway journey to support artists and creators, and community.

We love a good laugh, a nourishing plate of yummy food, a silly dance, a deep meditation and a loving conversation. We really love to discover the depths of our natures.

For us Workaway is about community, supporting projects and idea that speak to us, we are all CREATORS we love to live a curious and positive life, our journey is a testament of this. We love to work with people that are passionate, committed and aware of that spark of divinity within themselves. We enjoy spending our moments co-creating, learning as well as sharing the experiences and skills we have gained.

Trust your intuition, if we sound like your people, that's a good start, perhaps we are meant to create something great together. ;)

We came with lots of curiosity and left heart-full, art-full and delight-full.

I (Anya) arrived first, and once I stepped my feet onto the land I knew this place is going to be a life-changing experience. From the first eye to eye contact with Milla when I got off the bus I knew that I made the right choice coming. And then meeting all the other… read more

Words will not do justice to my first work away experience. Everything about my experience felt special, I felt welcomed by the whole family, including pets and other workawayers straight away. My job while there was to complete the plastering of one of the cave houses, I appreciate that I was given the trust to work independently, after being… read more shown how to do the work. I worked 5 hours a day, in exchange I got the opportunity to experience the various different accommodations on the finca, all under the stars and surrounded by nature. I had to opportunity to share in feeding the animals, and in understanding the challenges and rewards of having an off grid life. I really enjoyed our meals together, the love and energy of the kids, the trust to be independent in my work and the challenges of working in an environment very different from the city. I learned a lot, laughed a lot, ate great food, worked hard and enjoyed the spectacular sunrises, sunsets, starry nights and literally being in the clouds.

This is a beautiful family with 3 quickly growing and very intelligent kids, so maturity and respect are useful skills to be able to have a harmonious experience for all.Remember that as well as a business it is important to give the family space just for them. Independence is Important, as well as flexibility, the off grid life requires problem solving and a willingness to learn and help.

In one sentence - be an assest, leave a positive footprint, and be present while you are here, and you may just have a life changing experience.

Thanks to Anne-Claire and Ivan for welcoming me as part of your family, and for helping my understanding of so many things to evolve just from the example of your life.

Thanks to the kids, for your love, and welcome and open and honest conversations and exchanges we shared. For all the drawing I have received.

Thanks esme for inspiring me love of art even more and for encouraging me to draw more.

Thanks to the pets for reminding me what nature is, the love and affections, and wildness.

To my fellow workawayers for being a family with me, the talks, the meals, the coffees, and the shared stories and of our unusual life lived so far.

As I said, my words still don’t do justice, but thanks for the experience.

To future workawayers, if you have the chance to work here, take in each moment with gratitude and use the opportunity to expand your mind and way of thinking about life, you may leave with much more than you expect.

Love,

Ant x
