Travelling
We are Elke and Felix, a German couple that left home over 3 years ago.
In this time we were lucky enough to travel through beautiful New Zealand , Southeast Asia, Canada and Peru so far.
During our time in NZ we have volunteered at a lot of places and communities through "helpx.net".

After we have left New Zealand we have been traveling through incredible South-east Asia for about half a year where we had the chance to volunteer for a wild life center on Borneo (Orangutan Project) and at the Bali Spirit Festival in Indonesia.
Afterwards we spent a year in Vancouver (Canada) on a working holiday basis and added some workaway adventures, mainly in eco villages and intentional communities.
From the begining of September until the end of November 2019 we explored the magic of Peru where we had again the Chance to add another 3 volunteer experiences not only through workaway but also through personal contacts along the way.
Now we are happy to have arrived on this side of the planet and a whole new universe called India. :)
We would describe us as easy going, friendly, reliable, interested in different cultures and new experiences.
