Description
☀️| Hey there! We’re Paula & Maciej – a passionate scuba-diving instructors duo. As you might guess from what we do, we’re both adventurers who love a bit of adrenaline. But life is all about balance, so if we’re not underwater exploring reefs, we’re probably somewhere on a hike, watching a sunset or just chilling with good company and music :)))
🍀| We live for new experiences, great company, and projects that matter. Volunteering lets us mix all of that with traveling the world, meeting amazing people along the way and learning about different cultures – basically, our dream life.
As we already have lots of experiences in different fields,( which you can find described more in detail on our profile) we’re always excited to pick up something new, learn, we’re not afraid to step out of the comfort zone and get our hands dirty :))
If you think we'd get along, drop us a message! We promise good vibes, lots of smiles, and maybe even a scuba lesson or two 😉

More details about your skills
Even though our profile might look new, we’ve already taken part in several amazing Workaway exchanges (on our previous account, in our photos album you can find review from one of our hosts). Here’s a little glimpse of what we can offer and how our skills might be useful to you:
🌱 Gardening / Farming
Maciej used to spend some summer days on his uncle’s countryside farm, helping with plants and animals. I ( Paula speaking ;) ) lived in a house surrounded by fruit trees, berries, and a garden that always needed some love. also volunteered on a small farm in the mountains of Northern Thailand – doing everything from watering plants to, quite randomly, building a waterfall to supply water to different parts of the land. Being in nature feels like home to us, so we’re always happy to get our hands dirty.
🤿 Scuba Diving
We’re both scuba diving instructors. Taking people underwater comes with huge responsibility, but the reward is priceless – like seeing someone who struggled at the start finish a dive with the biggest smile (and sometimes a brand new passion). Working with different people every day has made us adaptable, patient, understanding, and quick problem-solvers
🌟Social Activities / Tour Guiding
volunteered in Northern Vietnam organizing mountain bike tours – from reception and check-ins to preparing guests and guiding them through the process. It taught me how to stay organized under pressure, even when everyone’s asking a million questions at once. also worked in a Thai island hostel, organizing games, events, and making sure guests had a great time.
🍽️ Cooking / Serving
We’ve both worked at a busy beach-front bar, so we know how to handle the rush with a smile. We’ve also helped out in restaurant kitchens, and since we love good food, we’re always happy to cook or assist in the kitchen.
🖌️ Teaching Languages / Creative Workshops
I had taught basic English to Thai children and run creative art workshops. I enjoy anything hands-on and artistic – from painting to crafts, even tho I’m not a pro 😆
✨ In short: These are the things we’ve
already done, but we’re always ready to try something new. We’re quick learners, love a good challenge, and will do our best to get things done – with good vibes along the way!

21 & 20
What else ...
After an amazing summer on sunny (but not-so-rich in green ) Gran Canaria, we’re ready to get back to the roots. Spending time in nature – gardening, farming, or helping out around a homestay – in the Italian/ Madeira countryside would honestly be a dream.
For us, life’s about enjoying the moment, sharing experiences and connecting with people – preferably around a bonfire with music and good company :)
We’ll be available from September, but we’re flexible with dates and happy to adjust to what works best for you ;)

Feedback
I have very rarely met such young people who are already so mature and responsible. They helped us a lot with the chickens, horses, vegetable garden, gardening, and more.
You can trust them 100% — they are truly smart, skilled with their hands, and also friendly and curious.
Highly recommended!
