Description

We are a fun, optimistic couple who always try to look at things positively. About ourselves, We love traveling, music (we do have a guitar, a ukulele and bongo to name a few instruments with us). I play chess and we both enjoy various board and card games. Meeting new people, learning and embracing different cultures. We decided it was time to live Our dream, get on the road and experience life, to this end we converted an old school bus into a mobile home (all done ourselves with just hand tools including mistakes!) and we call her Alice, we still have the outside to do but that’s something for the future. We have been living and traveling in Alice for nearly 3 years and we love it. We also have a 2year old dog called Gaia (from Holland) and a cat called Indie (from Spain) as our travelling companions. Last year we spent doing lots of Workaway in Spain which we really enjoyed and learnt a lot. Some of the work last year included cementing a house, making chicken coop and henhouse out of scrap pallets and whatever materials that were lying around. Planting a permaculture orchard, herb gardens and vegetable plots. Restore some old furniture, the list goes on but hopefully you get the gist, we can turn our hand to lots of things and if we don’t know we learn :-) we made so many good friends along the way. We came back visiting family but are now looking at Workaway places in the UK this year. We are both vegetarian, Galina does the majority of the cooking but I make a mean five bean chilli!
