Scuba diving, motorcycles, paragliding, water activities, animals, hikes, food, wine, are all some of our passions in life. We are suited for any type of work or house sitting, we love dogs and all animals.
We have been Workaway hosts in the past and really enjoyed the experience and with our great work ethic, sense of humour and love for life we have a lot to offer as workawayers.
Now it's our turn to travel and explore the world, meet new people and share our life skills with people who need help.Interests
