Description

Hello everyone!

Thank you for being interested in our profile. We're a young couple of adventure-seekers. We're travelling the world and are very interested in immersing into new cultures. We lived for 4 months on a deserted coast of Egypt, spent 2 months in the Red sea on a boat, explored the African continent and had 3 successful Workaway experiences in South Africa where we met amazing hosts who became our dear friends. During 4 months in India we helped our friend with his brand new coworking space and studios for rent.

We are ready to share our knowledge in different areas (in particular we used to work a lot in hospitality and large-scale construction projects) and learn new things in return.

My husband and I have moved quite a lot and we're experienced in creating a homely, clean and cozy atmosphere from scratch in new environment in different cities and countries. We also had a great experience of serious renovation of our appartment in the historical city centre.
We love to arrange parties with different fun activities and to be surrounded by good people.

We are looking forward to becoming a part of amazing Workaway community all around the world.

More details about your skills

Hello everyone! My name is Maria, I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I've got a bachelor's degree in teaching and philology, but worked as a manager in hospitality for almost 7 years as it combines what I love most in life – meeting people and learning new things about different cultures and languages. I also worked in big-scale gas construction projects as a manager and translator and was engaged in a social project that aimed to revive a felt production factory in a small village.

My beloved grandfather taught me about growing plants, so I'm quite used to working in the garden since being a child.

I love reading and animals and enjoy some fun activities like longboarding and juggling. I'm learning French and always happy to practice my (so far) quite modest French language skills.

I believe in the power of education and that people can educate each other on a daily basis just by talking and listening to each other.

Hello! My name is Daniil.
Since childhood I wondered how nature works so I got my masters' in oceonology and hydrometeorology. Last six years I worked in the field of construction and installation works as a project/ process manager at a large-scale constructing projects.

My working experience also includes a mechanic assistance in a boat repair service, working as a maintenance and supply manager in hospitality business, I also launched a pop-up cafe with my friends and organized Christmas fair shops for my family social project.

I consider myself observant and thoughtful, sociable and cheerful. What I really love is to organize things in order and when everything works properly. I think it's a good idea to think before doing something, but I dont mind getting my hands dirty.

I am fond of architecture and design, extreme sports. I am good both with a car and a sailing/motor boat.

Fluent English, native Russian. I have fair knowledge of German, but haven’t had any practice since my school days.
