Description

Joseph - I'm especially interested in exploring unique parts of the world that are rich in culture for me to experience and surround myself in. I enjoy living in nature (especially beaches!), and living with animals as I grew up with 2 cats and currently have a dog at my home in England. I can't wait to see all the beautiful views the world has to offer and help out in any way I can.

Anna - I am interested in making a difference through working in nature and with animals (especially cats!), as well as connecting with people and immersing myself in different cultures. I am proactive, motivated, and willing to give anything a try! We both have completed A level Biology, so are familiar with and excited to undertake ecology and conservation projects.

More details about your skills

Joseph - I have 3 years experience in food preparation and hospitality, so I can handle myself in a kitchen. I've got lots of experience looking after kids with babysitting my little brother and family friends and experience with animals as I had 2 cats and currently have a dog. I'm open to lots of new experiences and enthusiastic to broaden my horizons while meeting new people.

Anna - I got an A* in A level biology, which gave me an understanding of ecology, conservation and preservation. I currently have 2 (very spoiled) cats, so I have experience in feeding and cleaning up after them. My first language is English, and I also speak a little bit of German. I have been a lifeguard and a swim teacher for 2 years, so I am first aid qualified and I am used to working with kids.

It is truly impossible to put into words how incredible our experience was. Dottie and Tim are so kind and generous, and their family is wonderful. The working hours are flexible, and they never made us do anything they wouldn't do themselves. My favourite job was feeding the little chickens every morning (so cute!) and Joe liked pulling the … read more

Joe and Anna are exceptional Workawayers. They spent about 5 weeks with us. They are each hard workers, mature and confident individuals always willing to tackle whatever we asked. They were quick to learn the use of various machine tools such as woodchipper, mowers, weed whackers, Sawzall, etc. Anna loved the woodchipper so much that we named it … read more after her!

We had an unseasonable number of rain/storms while they were here. In fact, we experienced a hurricane a few days before their scheduled departure. They were helpful in the cleanup after the storm. On other rainy days the schedule had to be changed to working inside the garage, upstairs and inside the main house cleaning, etc. They didn’t seem to mind at all.

They helped care for the chickens every morning on workdays – sometimes on their own. They were instrumental in helping capture renegade chickens that had gotten out. They were so supportive and understanding as we cared for some ill chicks. They sprayed medicine in the eyes of the chicks every morning during feeding time.

Anna and Joe are very kind and thoughtful. They were always quick with a smile and we so enjoyed sharing funny stories and laughter with them. Our cats loved being around them and some would follow them when they were working on the land. Ziggy and Fonzie both spent time in the apartment and even slept with them!

Anna and Joe fit in well with us and our family, and friends at church. We really enjoyed having them join us for "Family Dinner and Game Night." They are both excellent game players, though it took them a bit of time to finally win at the game of Farkle – lol!. Our 21-year-old granddaughter became friends with them as well and spent time joining them in some adventures in their off time. Tim had an enjoyable time with them while visiting and hiking in Volcanoes National Park. They got some great pictures!

During their off time they were often on the road seeking new adventures and appreciated the spirit of this island. Anna and Joe are wonderful communicators. They gave us the courtesy of letting us know their whereabouts and return times when they were out somewhere.

Many of our Workaways leave a reminder of them here with us. The rocks painted by Anna are a wonderful reminder of her talent.

The English cuisine they shared with us was awesome. We loved the biscuits and crumpets they brought from home to share. The Marmite…not so much, but son, Casey liked it! Anna made one of my favorite dishes – Trifle! Oh my…it was so ono (delicious)!

We felt blessed to have gotten to know this wonderful couple! We highly recommend this dynamic pair together or individually!
