What else ...

Fun, adventure loving, hard-working couple currently preparing for a trip around Central America. Have both done work exchanges including Workaway before and will be looking for great opportunities during our time travelling through Central America this and next year. We have experience working and volunteering in Hostels, on reception, check-ins, check-outs and everything that comes with that, as well as organising activities and ensuring things run smoothly. We've also recently been wildlife tour guides and have done work in the voluntary sector and more.
We are both really excited and respectful about nature and wildlife, mindfulness, learning about different cultures and becoming better versions of ourselves.
The first workaway we're looking for during our trip is to stay somewhere over the festive period with a likeminded group of people where we can share our spirit and have a good time!
