Travelling
Activities we are interested in:
We are currently looking for a workaway place close to the ocean and nature in East Coast of Australia. We are also planning to head to Japan for the Winter Season 23/24.
Description
Hello!
We are Ilona and Ville from Finland and we are currently traveling in Australia. Our plan is to explore Australia from October until December and then head to Japan to snowboard the Japan powder as much as we can. We started our journey in New Zealand last November 2022 and travelled all over there for the last 11 months. Our passion is to be in outdoors and meet new people and hear their stories. Ville is very talented with his hands once he has been working many years as a joiner/carpenter. Ilona has graduated as an International Wilderness Guide and has done many kind of customer service jobs including social media and event producing.
We would love to stay with the locals and help out basically where ever needed. We are very keen to learn more about eco-projects and other small family owned businesses. We are very happy to help with hospitality, building, gardening, art projects and general maintenance around the house or farm. We are hard workers and don't mind getting dirty and doing physical work.
We love traveling and we are curious to see where we end up next!

What else ...
We love spending time in outdoors either snowboarding, ski touring, hiking or biking. We have been surfing while traveling but we are still quite bad at it. We would love to do it more while being in Australia and really be good friends with the waves.
We like healthy lifestyle and good humor, there is a always time for a little joke.
We look forward to hearing from you. Have a good day!
