Description
We are a couple (28 and 32) who love sports, travelling, interactions and exchange with other cultures and people. My partner is a graphic designer/3D artist and I am a trained European correspondent, who worked in different industries and countries since.

This is such a unique way of travelling and connecting while adapting to routines of locals in a foreign country. After several great experiences in Australia and Spain, it's time for new adventures and more unique experiences. Time to live, love, learn, and share.

Based on our extremely positive experiences with workaway, helpx, couchsurfing and HomeExchange in the past, we would love to continue the journey.

We are an easy going, inquisitive, creative and active couple who love extreme sports just as much as yoga and meditation.

We have a drivers' licence and a car, and always keen to learn something new so if you have projects planned for the upcoming weeks/months we would appreciate lending a hand with whatever needs doing: From general tasks in and around the house/garden, cooking, office admin work, animal care, children and elderlies.

Interested in big talk, wide range of topics since there's so much stuff to explore in this world. So much to learn and too many interesting people. We will only get the chance to meet a tiny part of them anyways, so let's make this one life count!

More details about my language interests
I discovered my passion for foreign languages, cultures and people quite early so I decided to study languages and finished my studies as an European Correspondent in Germany back in 2016. Mastering another language is far from easy but definetely worth the effort, since it gives the opportunity to connect with people from other countries and overcome language barriers. On my way to fluency I really appreciate passing on or sharing knowledge and advice that help(ed) me to master a foreign language and as a curious person who is willing to learn I'm also very grateful for opportunities to learn from native speakers or other multilingual people. To be fair the way TO fluency is the best part about it as long as you're surrounded by the right (fun) people. Cause you will learn in a fun, practical and natural way! :)

Laura and Marvin were a joy to host, they are an enthusiastic, considerate and easygoing couple and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the time we have shared together.

Both are conscientious and hardworking, making an immediate, positive impact on some of the storm-damaged and weed infested areas of our veggie garden and orchid. We are grateful for their… read more

What an amazing couple Laura and Marvin are. Their time with us was so enjoyable. They came to stay with us at a time when we had both been facing some health issues, and had not been able to attend to a number of jobs that needed doing. They just got in and did everything they could to take care of everything that needed doing. They both have… read more

We are still dwelling in thoughts about our precious time with Rhonda, Ken, Sasha and Chicken. No words can describe how grateful we are they hosted us and we stopped by. It was such a wonderful time in every possible way. It started when we arrived, they were both so welcoming, have a beautiful aura and positive energy, true optimists - nothing… read more can bring them down easily. They have great humor, are so generous and open-minded. We felt like home away from home. Our private space in the back of the house was like a spacious additional apartment attached to the house and like the rest of the house is decorated so beautifully and warm, they put their heart into it and it made us feel comfortable straight away. We got to meet their lovely daughters and grandchildren, they were up for a chat and brought very nice vibes into the house as well. Real family feeling and we felt integrated at all times. If you need some alone time or space: they want you to take as much space and privatsphere as you need and if you feel social they really appreciate everything you bring to the table, no matter if it's chatting about life, exchanging travel stories, watching a rugby or soccer game, a movie, anything interactive really.
Sasha the cutest dog ever was always up for a game outside in the garden or cuddles. She is a curious, relaxed and grateful dog. We miss spending time with her just as much as with Rhonda, Ken & Chicken. We loved the food Rhonda prepared (especially the scones for our sweet tooth haha). Tasty, flavorful and healthy meals, every day different. We felt so spoilt. Normally, they are very lively and creative people and we are so happy we came at a time where we could make their daily life a bit easier. We helped with easy chores in the house like cleaning, cooking, hung up a curtain, went grocery shopping, tidied up the shed, cleaned chooks house, removed branches and leaves that had fallen off the trees, mowed the lawn, rearranged the sanctuary and fairy garden... I'm sure if we would have stayed longer we would have enjoyed helping with more things and find other little projects. More than reasonable work, with much spare time to explore the beautiful area. We are grateful to have met great souls and the goodbye was as hard as leaving your parents house. We highly recommend to stay with Rhonda & Ken if you look for a fantastic aussie workaway experience where everything aligns. Rhonda & Ken: We are wishing you well, hope to stay in touch in the future and our paths cross again. As soon as you're back on track and whenever you want to travel Europe: You'll always have a place with us. ❤️🙏
