Description

Hello!
My name is Riva, I am from the Netherlands. Back home I work as a nurse and I make and sell my own meditation pillows.

I love traveling and doing different kinds of workaway when traveling. For me its the best to be able to stay in one place for a longer amount of time, and really settle down. Get to know the country, city, town, culture, people. Having an experience of living/working abroad.
My first workaway was in Malaysia in 2018. I then was traveling through Asia for 8 months, and found out that workaway is such a great platform. The best travel experiences for me are the ones while I was doing workaway.
I met so many nice people during my workaway experiences, and stayed in amazing places for a longer amount of time. I really learned more about the culture of a country during these experiences.

I really love doing yoga, meditation, surf, travel, connect with people from all over the world, salsa/bachata, cook, pastry, raw cacao, plants, nature, health, hiking, the ocean.

My name is Dominik I'm from Germany. Since I traveled I worked as a musician and a physiotherapist.
I love to connect the body, the mind and the soul. Last year I offered many workshops and cacao ceremonies in countries like Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Peru. I would love to share my gifts in the current country I am traveling.

We stayed at Prasads house for 4 nights, just going to his house is already a beautiful ride in between the ricefields. His house is in a small village in the mountains, really quite and not touristic, which was really nice. He showed us an amazing! waterfall, so beautiful, quite and peaceful, where we spent the day swimming and chilling.
We … read more

I really enjoyed my stay at Rachels house. I stayed there for a month (in september last year) living together with the students Rachel her brother and the english teacher. I didn't have experience with teaching english, or teaching at all. So it was a little hard for me to come up with topics or ways to teach the students, but I noticed it was … read more
