Description
Hi everybody!! We're Laura & Federico, two travellers from Argentina. We're very interested in personal growth experiences, so for us travelling around the world, meeting interesting people, learning new things and skills are certainly the best way to grow as human beings.
Some time ago we decided to change our ordinary lives for a unique travel experience. We love travelling, helping and learning from every experience. I used to work as a lifeguard and as a teacher for children with special needs and I've also done some physical training courses, Federico is a freelance translator and loves cooking vegetarian and vegan dishes.
We love nature, animals and good food, we're both vegetarian and on our my way to becoming vegan.
We've been travelling for over a year and a half so far, and during that time we've had about eight volunteering experiences and we really enjoyed each one of them.
We look forward to continuing volunteering in different places and learning different things, improving our skills and meeting new and interesting people around the globe.
2021 Update: we'll be travelling around Argentina this year.
Actualización 2021: Este año estaremos viajando por Argentina.

We both speak and write in English and Spanish (Federico also speaks French), we're able to do translations and teach those two languages, we can work the land and take care of animals and plants (and do farming labours). I am learning copywriting and community managing skills and Federico is learning about sustainable energy and economy. We can help with community and social work, take care of elderly people. I've done some physical training courses, so I'm able to create, perform and guide workout routines, mostly on muscle flexibility and strengthening. We LOVE taking care of pets and all kinds of animals. We can clean, take photographs, do maintenance work, paint, housekeeping, green-building, etc. But most of all, we're open and willing to learn new skills and improve those we already have.

This was my first workaway in Mexico and I loved it. All the members of the staff at the hostel welcomed me and made me feel like home. The place is absolutely beautiful and comfortable, with a big kitchen that you can use to prepare your meals, the rooms are cozy and the beds are comfortable. The job was mostly cleaning and tiding all common… read more

Thank you, Jeff, for this experience! We spent two wonderful months taking care of the hotel and it was amazing, we had a great time. Though we had some guests for easter, the place isn't ready yet, so most of the work consisted of keeping the garden in good shape, washing a big pile of dirty sheets and general maintenance. The place is beautiful,… read more

We enjoyed every minute with Laura and Federico. They are a responsible, hard working couple with a great personality. After short time we already became friends, enjoying the evenings together and relaxing at the beach. They were doing great with our dogs, so our dogs felt in love with them from the first moment. They painted our whole house in a… read more

This was the best volunteering experience ever! Balu and Beatrice are great people, super friendly, kind and fun! We spent 3 weeks helping them paint their lovely house, but it didn’t feel like working, it felt like hanging around with a couple of friends and their beautiful pet daughters: Linda and Karma (the cutest little things you’ll find in… read more

This place is AWESOME! The houseboat is a very comfortable accommodation, where a great deal of fun and hard-work take place. The surroundings are beautiful: jungle vegetation, a refreshing lake, the famous Panama canal and many small islands that allow you to see a great variety of wild animals. The work is busy, you have to deal with guests,… read more

Laura and Federico have been, without a doubt, my best volunteers to date. They stayed a little longer (6 weeks) to help me out, were always cheerful, fun and extremely hard working. And Federico made super delicious pizza. They adored my dogs and it was very much reciprocated. Who wouldn't adore this couple?! They always did way over and above… read more

Being at Bernice's place was awesome! We spent 6 weeks there and had a great time. The restaurant is set in a beautiful colonial-style house, which is very pretty and with open spaces. Guatapé is a very nice city full of colour, with water activities and beautiful landscapes.
Our experience volunteering for Bernice was great! We got to walk her… read more

Laura and Fede are the most responsible, hard-working couple you’ll ever find. They came to us when we were in a chaotic state, beginning a major renovation of the house and were a huge asset; making order out of the situation. They happily stepped up to the plate for some hard-working days. Be prepared for culinary delight from Fede! I miss this… read more
