Description
Hi everyone!
We are Lian & Steven from Singapore, born and bred in the city, love to travel and yearn to be close to nature!
I am in finance for decades, great with Excel and numbers.
I love to cook and bake, love to meet and make new friends from different countries to share life experiences, culture and food!
Steven, my husband, is quiet and shy as to my chatty and extrovert :D he is a mechanic for his entire life, repairs vessel engines, generators, etc, a true blue DIY guy.
I stumbled upon Workaway, what a great find! It is exactly what we always dream of doing - have the opportunity to work in a farm, grow vegetables and fruits, taking care of animals, to learn how permaculture works.
Though we are definitely no spring chickens ;p we are still pretty fit and hardworking, enthusiastic and eager learners and hope our skills are of use and help to you!

This was our first workaway as hosts (having previously been the workawayers!) and we couldn't have asked for a better start.

We were rather apprehensive, felt like we were imposing and gatecrashing! 🤭
