Travelling
Our next destination:
Saxony, Germany - from Nov 2023 until Apr 2024 View allDescription
Hello. We are Bruno and Simone, both born and raised in Portugal, currently living and travelling within Germany. We have been doing volunteer work for years and so decided to join Workaway to continue our travels and help whenever we can. Some of the reasons why we chose to travel are to try new things, new experiences, learn from other cultures, and immerse ourselves in a different environment.
In our free time, we love to indulge ourselves in outdoor activities like hiking, wild camping and exploring new areas. When indoors we tend to spend most of our time listening to music, reading or studying, watching movies, doing yoga and searching for new adventures.
We are open-minded and easy to get along with, hard workers, organised, reliable and fast to adapt to any situation. We work very well in a team environment as well on our own initiative.
We are both very passionate about nature and animals so we prefer to be involved in projects more directed to the outdoors, animal care or sustainable projects. However, we're up to any challenge! Bruno studied Biology at university and loves to do wildlife photography. Simone is a dog training student and so wants to be more involved with them, but loves all of our furry friends.
We would be a caring and considerate guests, willing to execute any tasks that need to be done and to provide help whenever needed.Interests
