Description
Hello!
We are Michelle and Benjamin, a couple from Austria, and we love to expand our horizons, learn new things and have fun. We like the outdoors, have inspriring conversations with other people and food. We also love to make music, read books and make sport. We are open-minded people who value sustainability, nature, balance, and compassion. We also appreciate and love animals.
Since September, we travel through South-America and we started in Chile and now we are in Argentina. We are both working online for a few hours a week.
We are slow travelers and prefer to stay in a place for longer to connect more to the community, the culture and the nature. We loved our travels in South America so far but we both want a small change. We are missing community, people around us and doing something with our hands like building, gardening and so on. That is why we are here on workaway.
We like to get stuck in, are independent in our work and are also willing to learn new things and then do them. Communication is important to us.
One of us (Michelle) has already had some similar experiences through other organizations. Michelle helped in the hostel garden, with house construction and gardening in the mountains, and taught German to a family.
We are looking forward to the adventures and new acquaintances!

What else ...
We both enjoy playing board games like chess and reading non-fiction books about finance, spirituality, health, and the environment. We also like to discuss a wide range of topics and engage in philosophical conversations. We love to create things and therefore enjoy working hard and taking initiative. Our motto is to enjoy life in all its facets, make the most of it, and do the things that feel right and good.
