Description

Lulu & Solomon - London, UK
We are Lulu and Solomon, a couple from London travelling long term and hoping to connect meaningfully with places and people along the way. We are friendly, adaptable and excited to get involved, whether that's outdoors, in the kitchen, or wherever we're most needed.
Solomon has worked as a gardener for over 10 years and is confident with a wide range of outdoor tasks including planting, weeding, pruning and harvesting. He is also very handy and happy to help with DIY, maintenance or fixing things around the property.
Lulu comes from a background in education and charity work and loves cooking and looking after people. She is always happy to help in the kitchen as well as outside, and brings skills in communications, content creation and community building that she's happy to put to use if useful.
We are also happy to help with admin, social media, childcare and general day to day support wherever needed.
We are vegetarian, easy to live with and respectful of shared spaces. We are comfortable living simply and genuinely grateful for any hospitality we receive.
Why we want to Workaway: Workaway feels like a meaningful way to travel, meeting new people, supporting local projects and experiencing different ways of life around the world. We are travelling long term and see it as a way to connect more deeply with the places we visit rather than just passing through. We are motivated by the chance to learn new skills, share what we can, and leave each place having contributed something positive.
