Description
Hello we are Rafi and Teresa from Austria. We are currently traveling through Portugal with our almost self-sufficient campervan Wilma (we generate our own electricity, have a dry separation toilet but we need a water supply) . We don't have a particular route and will adapt to whatever workaway hosts we find on the way.
We like to travel and enjoy being in nature. We enjoy hiking, climbing/bouldering, swimming or cooking veggie meals. Before traveling we were also interested in fermenting veggies to make them last longer.
I, Teresa, am a very crafty person, I like knitting, doing pottery, crocheting, sewing, embroidery, .. so anything with fibers and dirt is great :) I also enjoy being in nature looking for edible plants.
Before our travels I worked as a midwife in a hospital. I also did a yoga teacher training this spring and enjoy doing yoga but I am still too shy to hold my own classes.
I am an open-minded person and love to discover new cultures. I don't have particular experience with workaway but I spent already longer periods in other countries/cultures. For example working as an AuPair in Finland an Spain.
I, Rafi, am interested in electronic stuff and enjoy tinkering around, but also enjoy working with wood and metal but did not have too many chances to try my hands on it. I like to read all kinds of stuff, right now I enjoy fantasy. I have a passion for cats and love to become friends with them.

What else ...
We are traveling in our (almost self-sufficient) campervan so we are fine just having a flat spot to park it. But we would love to have fresh water/shower available. We generate our own electricity via a solarpanel and have a non chemical toilet (dry-separation)
