Description

Hello! We are Emily and Isla, two best friends from the United Kingdom.

What motivates us is making a positive impact on the people and places that we meet and visit.

Travelling throughout Central & South America, we are looking to improve our Spanish speaking skills. We believe that language is at the heart of any culture and so learning Spanish is a key priority for us.

Sustainability and education are highly important to us and we are very passionate about both. Continuing to learn post university is what drives us to do Workaways, switching the books for real life learning!

What brings us happiness is the sunshine, good food & time with family & friends. We love being outdoors, moving our bodies, having a laugh and a dance - everything is better with a good soundtrack.
