Description
Hi Everyone we are Natalia and Garth.

As digital nomads, we have been able to use our technical and business skills in a new way, by working remotely and providing valuable services to clients from all over the world. Our education and experience has equipped us with the skills we need to succeed as digital nomads, and we are proud to be part of this growing community of individuals who are breaking free from the constraints of traditional work and exploring the world on their own terms.

Hi! My name is Natalia and I am a seasoned traveler with a passion for languages and culture, have a Bachelor's degree in Arts and am a proficient English translator. My education has given me a strong foundation and I have used my skills to deepen my appreciation and understanding of different cultures around the world. My travels have taken me to some of the most remote and beautiful places on earth, from the glaciers of Antarctica to the bustling cities of Asia. But no matter where I go, I am always eager to learn more, to make new friends, and to experience new things. My adventurous spirit and love of travel have made me a true citizen of the world, and my experiences have given me a unique perspective on life.

In my free time, I love to listen to music from the 80’s and watch thriller movies, and I have a particular love for dogs. My favorite part of traveling is discovering the local cuisine. I love to sample new foods, try local recipes, and learn about the history and traditions behind each dish. I am always on the lookout for my next destination, and my love of travel is contagious. With each trip, I discover something new about myself and the world around me, and my travels have opened my eyes to the beauty and diversity of the planet.

I have been to over 30 countries around the world and have a talent for quickly picking up new languages, which has made my travels even more enriching. But for me, the journey doesn't end when I return home. Instead, I take my experiences and turn them into tales that are woven with the threads of adventure, discovery, and the human spirit.

Hi there!, this is Garth, I am a true traveler at heart and I have been fortunate enough to visit over 30 different countries and experience diverse cultures. From the bustling cities of Europe to the tranquil beaches of Southeast Asia, dancing with locals at a traditional festival in Thailand, or learning to cook traditional dishes in Italy, I have learned that every place has its own unique charm.
I always make it a point to try the local food, participate in traditional festivals, and interact with the locals to gain a deeper understanding of their way of life.

Along with my passion for travel, I am also a highly educated individual, with a degree in engineering and an MBA. For many years, I worked a 9 to 5 job in the corporate sector, using my skills to make a positive impact in various industries. However, I eventually realized that my true calling was to explore the world and experience different cultures, so I took the leap and left my traditional job to become a digital nomad.

My journey has been one of balancing my love for travel with my education and experience, and I am grateful for the opportunities that both have brought into my life. Whether I am working with a client, exploring a new city, or simply taking in the sights and sounds of a new culture, I know that I am living the life I was meant to live, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

More details about your skills
I'm Natalia! Spending time with children is something I truly enjoy and I have some experience in working with them. I also love teaching English and Spanish, as well as gardening and taking care of animals.

Teaching is a passion of mine and I find it incredibly fulfilling to share my knowledge with others and help them learn a new language. When I'm not teaching, I love to spend time in nature, either by working in the garden or taking care of my furry friends.

I believe that both indoor and outdoor activities are important for a well-rounded individual, and I strive to make a positive impact wherever I go. Whether I'm working with children, teaching, or simply spending time in nature, I always aim to bring joy and positivity to those around me.

I'm Garth and I have a diverse set of skills and interests, and am always eager to learn and grow. Cooking is a passion of mine, and I love to experiment with new ingredients and spices to create delicious meals for friends and family. I enjoy doing any kind of chores that needs to be done, from cleaning to yard work, and find satisfaction in making the home a comfortable and beautiful place. I am always up for a challenge and find joy in using my hands and mind to create and solve problems.

We had an extraordinary first time Workaway adventure with Barbara, Bob, and their adorable dog, Lily. From the moment we arrived, their warmth and enthusiasm made us feel like part of the family.
Assisting Bob with polishing the wooden areas prior to varnishing the magnificent Eclipse Sailing Boat was a highlight. We felt privileged to contribute… read more to preserving the boat's timeless beauty surrounded by the fantastic views of Third Beach! It was an unforgettable and amazing experience! Bob is the best Captain and a fine Chef: pizza, ribs, tacos, steak all very yummy!
We helped with removing some weeds from their beautiful garden full of vegetables. Barbara puts a lot of work into it as it’s her pride! We learned valuable gardening techniques and witnessed the blossoming of vibrant flowers and thriving vegetables which we then ate for lunch and dinner! It was a joy to connect with nature in such a tranquil setting.
Contributing to their swimming pool project through helping in the final stages of tiling and grouting was a great learning for us. We can’t wait to see some pictures of the pool once they finalize the works and get it ready for the summertime.
Little Compton, RI, where Barbara and Bob live, is a truly wonderful place. Nestled in a picturesque coastal setting, this charming town captivated us from the moment we arrived. The quaint houses, with their timeless architecture and cozy vibes, added to the area's unique character. We went with Barbara to St. Catherine of Siena for Sunday Mass, the Priest welcomed us with genuine hospitality. Barbara also took the time to show us around the nearby beach which was incredibly beautiful! Barbara is an excellent cook she made wonderful meals and an apple pie to die for! She even packed for us some pie for the journey back! Little Compton, RI, with its idyllic surroundings and friendly community, was the perfect setting for our first Workaway experience, adding an extra layer of enchantment to our stay.
Barbara and Bob's genuine hospitality made us feel valued and welcome. Sharing meals and stories created lasting bonds and unforgettable moments: anything we wished for, Barbara and Bob made it happen: we won’t forget the delicious s’mores and ice cream cookies!! They went above and beyond, Bob even set up a fire pit by the pool! And he showed us around the most beautiful areas of Little Compton. And we felt in love with sweet Lily, always looking for belly rubs, she is the best dog ever!
For a unique and enriching Workaway experience, we highly recommend joining Barbara, Bob, and Lily. It's a well-rounded adventure that will leave you with cherished memories. Thank you, Barbara, Bob, and Lily, for an exceptional experience that exceeded all expectations!

Natalia and Garth were excellent house guests. They are very clean and neat people. Early risers because they had some digital work in Europe (5hr time difference) and early to bed at night.

They were very flexible in whatever needed to be done. They helped with a variety of tasks: cleaned up the kitchen, helped with laundry, worked around the… read more
