Description
Hi there! 👋 We’re The Orams, Dale & Jennifer, the Adventure Duo!
We are new to workaway and just starting our workaway adventure1
We met while white-water rafting on a remote island in Japan, where we quickly discovered that we were both equally terrible at paddling but experts at having a blast. Fast-forward seven years, and we’ve turned our shared love for adventure into a life full of unforgettable experiences!
We recently won a sustainability contest that took us to Patagonia to restore a famous hiking trail—because who doesn’t love a little eco-friendly sweat?
We also spent five incredible months in the Canadian Rockies, scaling mountains and convincing ourselves that bear encounters were more about making friends than fleeing for our lives!
We’re passionate about staying active and have tackled many races, including marathons and triathlons. Our love for travel knows no bounds, and we’re currently racing against the clock to explore as much of the world as possible before our working holiday visas turn into pumpkins.
We would love to meet you along our never-ending quest for the next great adventure!Interests
