Description
Hola, Hallo! We are Mar and Louis, a couple that met in Portugal, travelled through the Balkan States and decided to get into a new adventure in México.
While Mar likes to do Hospitality work like reception and cleaning, Louis enjoys physical work and to get his hands dirty.

On each of our own journeys we did a lot of different types of things, giving us experience in a broad area to choose from, for example: Louis' knowledge in the kitchen, especially in making pastries, as much as his determination and handiness when it comes to physical work. While Mar's administrative overview and teaching experience gives her patience and wit when needed. We love learning new things and improving ourselves daily.

More details about your skills
Louis:
I'm a hobby cook and baker, that worked in a bakery making wedding cakes.
I also like to film and edit small sketches and movies or work with 3D software to animate VFX shots (on a beginner level).
I also play the drums since I was a kid and getting my hands dirty while doing some outside tasks is nothing I'm afraid of.

Mar:
I'm passionate about learning and sharing it with the people around me, this is why i started working as a teacher and monitor for kids with difficulties to learn in 2020. Since i was young I started learning languages like english and italian, and that has helped me throughout my work as a receptionist and project manager in the hospitality world. I also enjoy music and art, and love talking with people!

I only stayed for a week at Gabriels beautiful place but it was totally worth it! He is such a nice nice guy and I felt super welcomed and cared for from the second I arrived.

I can't be greatful enough to have found this place and experienced one of the best summertimes I've ever had. Sure, the daily life there is not at all super easy given alone the steep terrain and the fact that they live off grid, but the work was always fair and there was enough time for me to relax and do freetime activities. Annie and Grim are… read more

Louis is such a sweet, open and conscious person! He stayed with us for more than two months and made our home feel even more like a home - almost like a new family member really. He added a few crafty recipes to our daily routine and sweetened up our lifes with his bakery and fermenting skills, which was both a big help as well as a sweet… read more

One of the best workawayers we have had the pleasure of hosting.

Engaging, diligent, honest and an amazing baker. If you have the chance of hosting the you man, grab it!

We hope to see him here again one day.

I arrived without any prevision- stayed for (only) 7 weeks- left with the feeling of having found a second family

For this being my first workaway experience, I could not have imagined it any better, I've met so many incredible, crazy, lovely, caring, funny, skilled friends which helped me in the end getting to know myself better and finding out… read more
