We met each other 8 years ago and since then, we stick together and we are now ready for the trip of our life : discovering South America.

More details about your skills
Wesley : I have 8 years experience with technical drawings. 70% of the renovation of my house is done by myself, I am not a professional but with the right tools I can be handy on my own pace. During my student time I’ve been serving drinks from time to time. Sport has been in my life since I was 6, I play football 4 times a week. I’ve done some basic yoga to get a more flexible body and know some exercises you need to do after a workout to recover well.
Marjorie : I'm good to animate kids, It used to be my summer job before.
I love gardening and working outside, i want to learn lots of things about growing vegetables, planting trees? permaculture..
i'm not afraid of physical tasks too, I helped Wesley with his house on different tasks as make concrete, sawing wood etc.
