Description

Hello everyone!
Dominika from Poland and Patricia from Spain. Ireland is the place where our friendship began.
We love traveling around the world, and our happiest memories are moments spent with local people and trying local food.
The little things make us happy. This is a simple way to enjoy every moment of our lifes.
Adventure is our thing! We travelled more than 16.000km. by bike in Latino America and now it's time for South East Asia but this time without bikes 🥲
We believe that meeting new cultures enriches our lives and helps us to understand the world better.
We are outgoing and active people.
We love to embark on thrilling treks, and connect with nature while we travel. We are also animal lovers and we feel empathy for them. They are part of this world 🌎🐶🐱
We are looking forward to meet you on our volunteering adventure!

More details about your skills

Dominika grew up in the countryside. I was helping my parents with farming. We grew vegetables, grains and fruit.
When I moved to the city I got involved in a local theatre making costumes, requisites and helped with organising events. In recent years I also volunteered in a community workshop trying to learn how to fix bicycles. The organization was focused on fixing second hand bikes and community education. As a member of urban space improvement group I built plant boxes from wooden pallets, planted flowers herbs and vegetables and watered them.
I've done some home decorating and walls painting. I would love to take part in creative projects, learn more about permaculture and eco-friendly construction.

Patricia studied tourism guide in a natural environment. Part of the studies was guiding groups of people in the mountains on foot or by mountain bikes, horse care and work with people with disabilities.
I grew up in a village and all my childhood I was surrounded by animals: cats, dogs, rabbits, birds... We also have olive trees and once a year I was helping to collect the olives to produce olive oil. We also grow tomatoes, onions, watermelon, aubergines, peppers and all essential vegetables for home use.
As a volunteer I was working with agave wood in an eco-village in Almeria, South Spain.

Also, while traveling by bike, together we volunteered in Panamá doing some maintenance work around the property. We painted walls, window frames and helped with the garden.

We are eager to learn new skills and share the knowledge!

What else ...

We really love outdoor activities, especially cycling and camping.
Dominika likes everything creative: painting, hand crafts, printing on paper and fabric and so on. Patricia likes everything sporty especially tennis and ping pong.
We love photography and we never miss a chance to visite photography museum.
We both love trying local food. Patricia loves to add chilies to all her dishes.
Our ideal relaxation time is having, if possible locally grown, coffee or tea with great views and a chat.
