Description
Hi 😊 We're Irene (25) from Italy and Oran (23) from Ireland, a couple who enjoy travelling, visiting new places and experiencing different cultures. We are just back from a three-month trip across Southeast Asia which we undertook after finishing our respective masters and undergraduate studies, and are looking for somewhere new to experience through Workaway.
Between us, we love cooking, hiking, spending time in nature, photography, and being around animals. We're both hardworking, respectful, and easygoing individuals, with experience of living abroad, and we can work independently as well as together as a team :)
We're excited to offer our time and skills, whether that's helping with gardening, animal care, general DIY projects, eco-projects working with children, or just helping wherever it's needed. Above all we value cultural exchange, living more as locals rather than tourists, and leaving each place a little better than we found it 😊 -

What else ...
We enjoy hiking, swimming, reading, board games, trying new food, and spending time outdoors. We have both had the opportunity to study abroad (Oran completed a half-year exchange, while Irene completed a two-year Master's and one-year exchange) which gave us a real appreciation for meeting people from different backgrounds and experiencing new cultures. It also taught us the importance of respecting other people's homes, communicating openly, and being adaptable.
Irene has studied geology and earth science and is passionate about conservation and climate action, Oran has studied philosophy and mathematics and enjoys teaching students online in his spare time. We're both curious to learn new skills, and excited to share our own experiences while contributing wherever we can :) -
