Description
Hi, we are Wendy & Matt, a UK couple exploring Central America in early 2027.
We're reliable, fun and like to meet new people on our travels : ) Between us are competent at many things including gardening, growing, property maintenance, animal care and generally being useful workawayers! We've done lots of volunteering ourselves and also are experienced at managing volunteers having worked in the social enterprise/charity sector.
Matt is also a yoga teacher, masseur and never happier than running a handstands class!
Wendy really loves being outside in nature, growing, cooking, and leading hikes.
Our plans are to Workaway in Yukatan during January, for c2-3 weeks and then travel to Belize and Workaway in February.
best regards, Wendy & Matt xx -

More details about your skills
Mat: I'm a land and property surveyor by trade though for workaway some of my other skills will be more useful! I have renovation skills through to decorating and a good eye for design, problem solving and finishing, taking pride in my work. I was also a builder the house I now live and have some straw-bale roundhouse experience. I'm also a regular home gardener, was brought up on a beef farm, worked in horticulture and can cook a bit too!
I also chair a small charity, k/a Cambrian Wildwood, dedicated to rewilding and habitat restoration locally. We engage widely with people whether this is educating, promoting or running volunteer programmes and I hope these skills, if not directly applicable to you, might come to be of some use.
Last thing, for any yoga fans out there, I coach acro-yoga and would love to teach you some!
Nicole: I work in the care sector and have good empathy with people. I've done lots of other things too including restaurant/bar work, gardening, cleaning etc and overall pretty useful and resourceful with most things, and people! -
