Description
We are travelling through Colombia to learn more about food culture and sustainable communities.
Andrew is writing a paper about street food markets, and has been cooking vegetarian feasts across the USA, Mexico and Colombia. Back at home, he works on trying to end homelessness.
Paula is taking a break from teaching robots how to run renewable energy systems. She used to help run Europe's largest student housing co-operative, and is excited to learn more about sustainable construction and self-sufficiency.
Together, we have work experience in busy restuarants and bars, outdoor education and writing code. One of us can speak Spanish and the other is a good listener.
We’re interested, proactive and open-minded people, always trying to learn new things and provoke new experiences. If there is a mess, we will clean it up. If there is something you need help with, you won't need to ask twice.
One of our favourite trips was to compete in the Stone Skimming World Championships (yes, they exist and no, we did not win). Next October we are planning to compete in the Porridge World Championships. We would love to test some of our porridge ideas on our hosts or fellow volunteers!Interests
