We left Brazil with the idea of living different experiences. The rushy lives we were having was bringing our energy down and we wanted a life-changer. We believe that meeting new people and new places could definitely help us to bring this back and it's being such a good trip so far, way beyond our expectations.
We'll just keep our heart and mind open for the positivity, the rest will come naturally ;)
My husband and I are travelling around New Zealand for 11 months now and we are close to the end of it.
We have done Workaway for this whole time and got experience in many areas such as building, gardening, cooking, animal care, housesitting and painting (maybe there are other things that we don't recall right now hehe). I love gardening jobs and Andre is just in love with woodwork, he wants to work with it when we get back to Brazil! He's done several things like small projects around houses (shelves, roof, and ceiling), chicken coop, animal houses, garden structures (stairs, arches).
We are vegans and we love to share the meals with other people and help them learn a little bit more about this lifestyle and also learn different things from the hosts.
