Description

We met whilst working in Ibiza in 2002 (there may have been a party or two) and got married in London 20 years later. I suppose we've grown up(ish) together and make a strong team. We're both outgoing, friendly and up for an adventure. We're also easy going, appreciate a good sense of humour and genuinely get a kick out of chatting to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Robert's an experienced electrician and has worked on some big London projects, including the Elizabeth line on the London rail network and the new Sadlers Wells theatre and institution for arts.
Lizzy currently works in the homelessness sector as a Resettlement Worker, supporting homeless people to source accommodation. She also has experience in the events industry and has enjoyed completing a photography course in her spare time.
We lead active and sociable lifestyles and you guessed it - we love to get about a bit. Our last travels were in South America (Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina and Columbia).
We're excited to drop out of the rat race for a year and have a variety of Workaway experiences. Hopefully we can improve our Spanish and get stuck in wherever you need a helping hand, so please reach out and say holaa!

More details about my language interests

More details about your skills

I am an electrician by trade and I have been in this field for nearly 20 years. My expertise is install works so I am very capable of interpreting drawings, using power and hand tools and making things look very neat and tidy! I am a hard worker with a good eye and I love the satisfaction that my work ethic brings. I have worked on some of London's flagship projects in recent years.
I love working as part of a team and pride myself in being a team player.
I was born into a hospitality environment so feel very comfortable in this space. I can help with reception, reservations, housekeeping, kitchen.

What else ...

Robert loves to play/watch football and enjoys keeping fit - running, yoga and the great outdoors. He has energy to burn so if you're up for fun times then he's 100% in! He can also cook up a storm and is a great all round maintenance kinda guy.

Liz is a Bikram yogi, who also enjoys running and cycling. Loves animals, art, music, photography, great event organiser, cooks, cleans and loves a pint in your local ;)

We love...gigs, art exhibitions, films, cycling, sailing, hikes, walks in nature, talks in pubs...travelling to new places, cool cities, beaut beaches...whatever there is to explore we'll have a wee peek.
