Our next destination:
Italy - from Apr 2026 until Jan 2027 View all
Description
We are Claudia and Ben, a couple from New Zealand who are excited to immerse ourselves in the Italian culture and language! We have visited Italy before, and this time we will be travelling on working holiday visas to give us the time and opportunity to meet people and see more of the country.
We are looking forward to embracing a slower style of travel with workaway -spending time getting to know people and experiencing local culture. We are eager to contribute where we can with diy projects, gardening, language exchange, house and pet sitting, family life and more.
A bit about us:
Claudia is a social sciences teacher who loves gardening, reading, crochet, sewing and other crafts.
Ben is a civil engineer who loves guitar, music, woodworking, cycling, photography and surfing.
We both love cooking, camping, animals, language learning, history and (of course) travelling!
