Description
Kia ora, we are Pj (British) and Corben (Kiwi), on an extended travel around the world!
We're excited to experience different cultures and environments, learn new skills and help people on some fun projects. We love meeting new people and experiencing different lifestyles.

We're both eager to help with whatever is needed, and learn more about living in ways outside the norm.
Corben has been working as a builder for the past few years, building passive eco-houses (lime, clay, straw, earth) in New Zealand, so he's especially keen to help with any building projects. He also has lots of experience in tourism, with various tour guide jobs under his belt. Corben has completed advanced first aid training and has spent many hours operating machinery so is able to help with those sorts of jobs.
Pj has been to workaways in Portugal, Greece and Nepal, and spent a year running a workaway on a boat in New Zealand, so knows how the culture works and is excited to contribute further. She worked in conservation for the past couple of years, gaining experience planting and weeding and getting a chainsaw ticket. She also has plenty of experience in customer service.
We are both accustomed to physical outdoor labour, are practical-minded and love arty building projects. We recently built a large wooden art project for a festival and loved it! We both enjoy cooking and recently volunteered at a festival kitchen, spending a few weeks cooking for over 100 people.

Thanks for reading our profile, perhaps we may see you soon!

PJ and Corben was helpful with our little d.i.y project. They were a good team working together. They helped us making shelves, painting and cleaning in the house.
We couldn't ask for more.
One of the best thing we enjoyed was anytime anywhere eating!

We had an absolutely wonderful week with Teena and Lee! They are excellent hosts and excellent humans. Melaka is a beautiful city, full of history, culture and fantastic food, and their house is right at the heart of it. There weren't any cooking bookings while we were there so we did some DIY tasks around the house, which were fun, well-explained… read more

Pj & Colben were fantastic! They helped us with various tasks around the house, including upkeep, scraping old paint, plastering, and tiling. Both are independent, self-motivated, and understood the Workaway concept perfectly. They were always eager to learn about the local culture, and they made an effort to minimize their carbon footprint. Pj &… read more

Shen & Jess are amazing workaway hosts. They provided plenty of food for us to cook for ourselves as well as shared meals with us and their friends.
They included us on some fun social outings with their friends and showed us how life is for them in their community.
The work we did for them was fun and we were able to do it at our own pace. We… read more

PJ and Corben were a pleasure to host, they eased into this lifestyle effortlessly. They are great conversationalists, have positive attitudes, they’re respectful and helpful and we had lots of fun together. They helped out with a couple of big jobs in the garden and weren’t afraid of hard work. I’d be happy to have them back anytime and would… read more

We had an absolutely MAGICAL week with Monika. We learnt a lot in many ways and found her style of living inspirational! The house has a great vibe - unique, cosy and peaceful, and the surrounding garden/rainforest is stunning. Each day there was new wildlife to discover - birds, wallabies, bugs, sometimes a snake!
Monika is wonderful to chat… read more

We absolutely loved Liam and Anna's workaway in Humpty Doo!

The land they are living on is so beautiful. The accomodation they provided was a very cute standalone bush hut which was bug proof and breezy (not too hot) during the nights. We also had access to their library which had kitchen facilities and plenty of space for chilling, yoga, etc.… read more

PJ & Corben brought their practical skills and eagerness to engage with what's on offer to our two week working bee / retreat. They are thoughtful, diligent, able to problem solve and take the initiative. We got quality work done, had deep discussions and enjoyed a fun time together. I fully recommend them.

Wow! what an unexpectedly heart warming and educational life experience. We are so grateful for the time we spent at Dada's workaway.

Every day we practised yoga and meditation and learned so much from Dada's practise which he shared with us.

The property was very spacious and beautiful in a natural setting with a wonderful garden where we did… read more

Our workaway at Carl's place was great! He had a variety of projects on the go and tailored the tasks he assigned us in order to give us an opportunity to try/learn new skills. We helped rebuild a rocket stove and did some work in the garden.

Carl let us eat however we wanted and provided food for us to cook to our own tastes. We had good private… read more

Can safely say, two of the best weeks of my life. Hannah and Duncan are excellent hosts and wonderful people (and just so much fun to be around), and the Quinta is a place like no other. I tried my hand at many new skills, which I thoroughly enjoyed - Work on the roof involved drilling, hammering, painting, sanding, climbing, sawing etc. There was… read more
