Description
Hello we are Tom and Billa! Right now we are both taking a break from studying to see what the world has to offer besides learning in university. We spent six weeks traveling through South America this spring and have just set off to travel with our van around Europe. Billa already did three Workaway stops in Portugal, Switzerland and Czech Republic by herself, where she helped planting and harvesting, took care of animals (mostly goats, chicken, cats and dogs) and spend some time hay making (by hand). Additionally she worked in a zoo for a year, so knows a lot about animals and loves the work with and around animals. She studies Forest Science and Worldliterature and therefore loves plants, especially trees, and books. It's hard to find her not carrying a knitting project.
Tom has not had any previous experiences with Workaway as he went to university right after school, where he achieved his bachelor's degree last year. Now he's eager to make up for what he missed over the last years. As a scout leader, he knows his way with fire, camping and tents, sewing, etc. He occasionally writes songs and accompanies them on the guitar and harp and generally likes anything old: architecture, records, cars, stories, ...
Both of us love playing card and board games and making music and art. We hike and read a lot and enjoy time spend outside with good conversation more than partying.

More details about your skills
Since Billa worked in a zoo she can do hard physical work, knows how to take care of and treat animals right and how to clean stables. She grew up with cats and hens at home.
Billa works with her father, a gardener, a lot, so she is able to do gardening tasks, cut down small trees and chop wood.
She also loves to make art and learn new languages if this may come in handy.
Tom can do physical labour as well and grew up helping out in the garden so any work with plants or agricultural task should suit him. He is also capable of learning how to work with mechanics or electricity and could adapt to such tasks quickly.
Both of us are always looking to learn new skills and very flexible.
