Description

Hi, my name is Iona.
I am a pizza chef in the UK with a passion for cooking and hospitality. I have experience working in busy kitchens and sourcing seasonal ingredients, and I am always looking to learn new skills. I am a practical worker and enjoy being independent with tasks

In my free time, I love being outdoors, hiking and camping being my favourite activities, often tricky in the wet and windy UK summer! I love reading and I am always curious to learn new tings, often picking skills up quickly.

My best friend Anna and I are starting our travel journey in Italy for the summer period.

Hi I’m Anna, I am a keen wild swimmer, I love exploring lakes and rivers and going on hikes. I really enjoy spending time cooking, tackling recipes and hosting.

I am very and curious love learning from people through conversations and sharing knowledge. Education has always been an interest of mine, I spent a summer teaching in Poland and have also taught programs in schools. I am enthusiastic, love meeting new people and working on whatever is thrown at me.

We are looking for opportunities to build our skills and learn a new language. If you are looking for hardworking volunteers, we would love to hear from you!

What else ...

Anna and I have been friends for over 10 years, and we're ready to start a new adventure together. We've always loved cooking and experimenting with food, and enjoy spending nights in playing board games and having good conversation. We're both used to shared living and are accustomed to living in hostels. As a duo, we love exploring the outdoors through hiking, wild swimming, camping, and taking trips away. We enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures and ways of life.
