Travelling
Description
We are an English couple who love travelling, being outdoors and meeting new people. We are currently on a long cycling trip and are hoping to see lots of the world on our tandem :) we are aiming to do this slowly over a few years, stopping at lots of places on the way to volunteer and get to know the local culture better.
We both grew up in Cornwall in the UK so love the ocean and generally being outdoors. We have both travelled and done workaway before and love the experiences we have had meeting amazing people and seeing parts of the world we may otherwise not have.
We are both energetic people who are happy to get stuck in with whatever tasks are needed. We love learning new skills and have a huge variety of work experiences we can bring to help out with different things.
We also love meeting people from around the world and chatting and laughing with lots of different people. We look forward to meeting lots more likeminded people through Workaway :)

More details about your skills
Laurien- I worked as a quantity surveyor for 5 years in the UK which gave me a good knowledge of building materials and the construction industry in general. I have an interest in sustainable construction and hope to learn more as we travel. I previously spent 3 years in Asia & Australasia where I did multiple workaways and paid work at farms, wineries, hostels and family homes. I would consider myself to be quite fit and am happy to labour all day outside.
Lauren- I have worked in mental health, hospitality, education, the charitable sector and done lots of volunteering in the past. I have taught English as a foreign language in both Thailand and Burkina Faso, as well as volunteering campaigning for disability rights in Burkina. I love children and have lots of experience working with them on summer camps, as a nanny and in a school working with children with special needs. I am also happy to work doing any kind of labour and will happily get stuck in and learn as I go. I have loved volunteering doing gardening, painting and general labouring in the past. I am creative and love making things and painting! I also love cooking and am always happy to get involved in the kitchen.
