Activities we are interested in:
Looking to volunteer in Colombia, in hostels, wildlife projects, English teaching and language exchange.
Description
We have travelled around Latin America extensively for two years. We love backpacking and hostel culture. We are both passionate about geography, culture, nature and the environment; also finding a more hippy and sustainable way of living. we have volunteered at an eco hostel in northern Colombia, that focused on permaculture and building a sustainable community in the jungle. We are currently learning Spanish and want to continue until we are fluent. We are very social and love being part of a community and meeting new people. We want to try a variety of volunteering experiences, hostels, environmental conservation, teaching English, construction and creative endeavours. We really want to expand our knowledge of agriculture, permaculture and animal care in order to contribute to a more sustainable planet. Also learning more about building and making things in sustainable ways would be amazing as we are both creative and practical people that have enjoyed the DIY and handiwork that we have done. We are both super passionate about food and we love cooking.
