Description

Hello!

We are Peter (M26, Irish) and Saskia (F26 Irish/ Australian). We decided to quit our office jobs and go travelling from Nov 2023 indefinitely.

Along the way, we would like to participate in some workaways. We are interested in learning more about organic, natural and sustainable farming practices and ways of life.

About Peter:
Before leaving my job I worked as an analyst and engineer in a tech start-up for three years. I have many interests including technology, history and languages. I would love to learn woodworking skills and farming practices during my Workaway experiences.

About Saskia:
In 2022 I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in International Tourism & Languages. During my studies, I spent a summer taking part in Workaways in Ariège, France to improve my French language skills and knowledge of sustainability and organic farming. I love surfing, yoga, travelling, fashion, craft and design.
