Description
Hi! We are a couple from Canada and Argentina, and we are currently traveling and surfing around central America. We both love to meet and connect with new people, and are both very easy going.
Mateo is good with his hands, and he is also really good with people. He is also fluent in English and Spanish. He loves to play guitar and sing, surf, and hang out with people. He is also very interested in meditation, breath work and spirituality.
I (Bethany) love to be active, I surf as much as I can and I also love music. We play guitar and sing whenever we can get a guitar! I also love to travel and experience new cultures. I have been traveling and living in different places for the last 7 years. I am trying to learn some Spanish, so I understand some but not everything!
We have both worked in a wide variety of jobs, I have done a lot of hospitality, reception, farming, and painting. Mateo has done construction, reception, farming, and he is also a veterinarian.
We have been traveling from Canada to Mexico in our 4×4, and then in Peru for the last couple months surfing and helping to finish a renovation on a small surf house.
We are both very healthy in our ways of eating and living. We are very down to earth and would love to learn about permaculture or off grid living. We are really happy people and keen to help in anyway needed.Interests
