  • Description

    Hi there,
    We are a couple in our (mid to late) twenties traveling the world.
    We spent the last few years saving hard, so that we could quit our jobs and leave our home countries with nothing holding us back.
    Over the last 3 months we have been to Sri Lanka, Bali, Lombok, Java, Borneo and Malaysia, where we have been hiking, surfing, snorkelling and immersing ourselves in local culture.

    Our next destination is Japan, where we hope to use the Workaway platform to meet new people, help out where we can and immerse ourselves into Japanese culture.
