Description
Hi there! We are friends and students from Canada who love to travel and explore. We are easy-going and love meeting new people. We have traveled, worked and lived together. We believe in community living, sustainability and absolutely love spending time in nature. Through workaway, we are hoping to experience new cultures and opportunities. And we are not afraid of hard work!
We are looking to spend the months of May, June, and July volunteering in Peru. We look forward to meeting you!

There were lots of upkeep tasks and we would clean and prepare the property for events. It was such a lovely experience… read more

We didn’t stay here long but it is such an amazing place to volunteer. The work is relaxing and can be very fun. We would keep the Bed and Breakfast common areas clean, prepare and clean rooms, and make breakfast for guests on the weekend. It is a very short walk to the heart of Ollantaytambo, where there is… read more
We spent three weeks with Dionny and had a wonderful time! She is a very sweet and funny person who welcomed us kindly into her home and community. The volunteering work mostly consisted of helping with irrigating her corn fields. Like us, you may be asked to work with intensive agricultural pesticides… read more
