Description

Hello! We are a couple who love travelling! Currently we're doing a trip around SEA after living in Australia for a year. We will be visiting Japan and South Korea in late May.

Paulina- Hi! Since finishing university I have spent the last two years travelling . Some of my favourite places include North Vietnam and Australia (where I lived for a year!). Travelling has enforced how much of a foodie I am and my main purpose for travel is to try different dishes, of I've never heard of it I want it! Also, I am genuinely interested in different cultures and seeing how to world really is as opposed to how it's presented by the west. I am also a huge animal love (cats especially)! While living in Australia I've loved seeing kangaroos, koalas and amazing birds in the wild!

Workaway wise I am keen to try anything! My last two workaway experiences helped me learn a lot of gardening and manual skills, we even managed to fit out our van gaining all sorts of skills including carpentry, electronics, mechanics and patience! I would love to do cooking and culture related work as I am really passionate about cooking! But I am also keen to try new things, I've always wanted to learn how to sail a boat so if anyone needs a hand let me know!

Bucket list destinations- Madagascar, Japan and Mexico!

Max- Hey there! I’m 23 years old and eager to learn new things, which is why I want to travel. I love being active and spending time outdoors, whether it’s playing football (soccer), hiking, swimming, or climbing. I’m a qualified football referee in England and have a deep passion and solid knowledge of the sport. Having played football my entire life, including captaining a team when I was younger, I know how to work as part of a team and lead when needed. I'm also a sort of nerd when it comes to Pokemon, I've loved it since I was a child and I've never grown up:)
I've recently found an interest in car mechanics, due to a past workaway and working in the Bentley factory. I've learnt many new challenges and skills that I never thought I could do.

Bucket list destinations- Spain (I'm only English person in the world who has never been!(Inside joke)), Brazil, Japan and Canada.

More details about your skills

We are both animal lovers and have dived into a variety of tasks at our previous Workaways! These include gardening and weeding, mechanical work (such as fixing a suspension, bonnet, and bumper), animal care, building, and carpentry. We've even tackled chopping down dead trees, land clearing, and digging a trench. We aren't shy of hard work and truly enjoy a challenge!

We also love cooking and learning about new cuisines; we are especially looking forward to visiting Japan to enhance our skills further. Throughout our travels, we have filmed our adventures for TikTok and Instagram. While we are still learning, we enjoy photography and videography and recently purchased a drone. We are currently perfecting our aerial shots and would be happy to help you with your social media content if needed!

What else ...

Paulina-I’m an animal lover with two cats and experience fostering kittens. I have a passion for cooking and love experimenting with new dishes. I’d be thrilled to learn more about different cuisines and further develop my cooking skills while exploring the world! I also love budget travel and have plenty of stories to share from my adventures. One of my goals is to learn to dive, and I’m currently working on building my confidence in the sea.

Max - In my spare time, I enjoy gaming—favorites include Pokémon, FIFA, Minecraft, and building with Lego. I also love animals and enjoy caring for pets. I have a 14-year-old cocker spaniel and I co-parent the previously mentioned two cats! I also love exploring nature, trekking through new and familiar places, and appreciating the beauty of the countryside and its wildlife.
