Description
Hello! Our names are Harry and Beth and we are primary school teachers from York! We are taking a year out from our jobs to travel around Europe.
We are up for any task, having had a range of jobs from helping out on farms to working in cafes and bars and now working as teachers. We are not afraid of hard work and are happy to perform any tasks required.
We have done 6 Workaways now, and have loved every single one. We have experience with farming, gardening, decorating, painting and much more! We love to experience new things and no job is too big or too small for us!
Harry - I would describe myself as having a very positive outlook on life and I am also someone who loves to be active and busy as often as possible. I have had experience travelling through Europe previously. When I was 18, I went interailling with a friend of mine for a month which was a fantastic experience and started my love for travel. I have also been island hopping around the Greek islands and the southern Thai islands. I then spent three months travelling around southeast Asia before I went to university, which was an incredible experience and allowed me to visit countries with an entirely different culture.
Beth - I am a hard working person who thoroughly enjoys a challenge. I have previously travelled to South Africa during my first university year. During this trip, I helped the local school with some childcare tasks and helped build a rehabilitation centre for crocodiles. This trip really inspired my desire to travel and I am very excited to spend some time travelling around Europe. I come from a very outdoorsy family who love adventures, so I love to be out in the country wherever possible. I frequently go on camping trips as a large group with friends and family.Interests

More details about your skills
Between the two of us we have worked variety of different jobs and have learned a range of different skills, both indoor and outdoor.
During our time in Europe, we have helped with some construction, farming, gardening, painting, decorating and lots more
Outdoor - Harry has worked a variety of outdoor jobs, including helping out on local farms, pest control, helping with building, gardening and maintenance work. Beth has helped with construction projects and also supported local schools with forest schools and other outdoor projects.
Indoor - We are both primary teachers so we have lots of experience in educating and interacting with young people. We have also both worked hospitality jobs, in cafes and bars/pubs. Beth has also supported a local church's summer group.
Most importantly all our previous work has involved interacting with people in both indoor and outdoor environments. We're both very outgoing and will try our hand at any task.Age

It would have been our pleasure to host them longer as they were such a big help!
They removed and sifted a huge pile of soil in our garden, weeded and prepared it partly for the autumn with no need of much advice.
Also they did stuff inside like ironing or cleaning… read more
We asked if they could help us with some projects in the garden, never thinking that the jobs would… read more
