Description

Hey! We are Juraj and Simona, a couple from Slovakia who recently moved to Sydney, Australia, in search of a new adventure. We love the outdoors and staying active, and after some time in the city, we realized that what we’re truly seeking is a hands-on, authentic Australian experience away from the urban lifestyle. We decided to take a break from our IT careers (Juraj as a Software Engineer and Simona as a Business Analyst) to embrace opportunities that allow us to connect with nature, learn practical skills, and fully experience the essence of Australian life! We are excited to volunteer on a farm or help with various tasks, both indoors and outdoors.
