Tonga Islands, Tonga - from Feb 2024 until Apr 2024 View allDescription
Hi, we are Yvonne and Cliff, a fit, healthy and energetic couple from the U.K!
Several years ago, we both gave up the rat race and took on the challenge of renovating a tired villa and traditional stone house (a trullo) in the south of Italy. We are extremely proud of our achievement as we transformed the property and 1.5 acres of land and olive grove, into a stunning property with landscaped gardens and a beautiful pool. To help us on the way, we discovered Workaway, and hosted many fantastic workawayers who joined in the hard work and fun of our endeavours and made a significant contribution to the results. So much so, that we thought....why don’t we do this when we’ve finished? After all, we would be bored if we had nothing to do! So, back in 2019, we offered our skills and experience and fullfilled a couple of workaway projects in France and Italy.
We subsequently moved back to the U.K, and during the Covid era, we embarked on a couple of personal renovation projects, both of which are now completed. And now…we have the travel bug again so we’ve put all our stuff in storage and have become travelling nomads! We started our adventures in Asia, are now in Australasia and are keen to explore the South Pacific next and thought, why not join workaway again?
Not afraid to get our hands dirty, we are very hard working and enjoy physical jobs. We have a broad knowledge of anything DIY / building, including basic plumbing, bricklaying, tiling/paving, joinery, painting and many others.
We have a good sense of humour, are easy to get on with and enjoy a bit of banter. We love all food and are happy to get involved with any cooking and clearing up if needed.
We look forward to meeting you!Interests
