Description

Hi, we are Jake and Luna. We are 21 and 22 years old and met each other nearly three years ago in Jake's hometown in Wales. Luna is German, but she was studying at the university in Jake's hometown at that time.
At some point, we decided to pack our bags and leave the country. Now, we have been travelling together for almost a year. During this time we spent nearly three months volunteering in Albania, where we stayed at a campsite by the sea and a hotel in the mountains, and found our love for this way of travelling, as it gives us a different kind of connection to the countries we travel to and allows us to meet people from all walks of life.
After a short break over summer, we decided to visit Georgia, a country that will always have a special place in our hearts. We fell in love with the people and our workaway at a hostel in the Georgian countryside, where we mostly cooked and cleaned. From Georgia we crossed the border to Turkey where we gathered insights into permaculture and land clearing while doing a workaway on a mountain farm. We ended our year with a workaway on a campsite in Turkey. There, we mostly helped with cleaning.

We are passionate about gaining new experiences, meeting new people and animals, and seeing more of the world. Both of us share a lot of the same passions and enjoy spending our time together going on long walks, learning to cook new dishes or unwinding in the evening reading together.

More details about your skills

We have experience with multiple workaway positions in the past year, working on two campsites, a farm, a hotel, and a hostel. Our responsibilities have included cleaning, cooking, serving food to guests, checking in guests, feeding animals, litter picking, clearing paths, trimming hedges and trees, harvesting fruits, repairing fabric (tents, pillows, and sheets), and doing laundry.
Outside of workaway we both have experience in working in hospitality. Luna has worked as front of house, making coffees, serving food, and working a bar. Jake has a couple of years experience working as a chef and is always keen to help in the kitchen. He also has a lot of experience in customer service.
Luna has a degree in Creative Writing & Film and enjoys exploring new creative hobbies. If this is helpful in any way, she would love to make use of it.
