Description
Hello! We are Emily and David, a British couple currently living in Bristol, UK. We are in the process of planning our travels across South America for the end of this year, and we would love to incorporate Workaways into this experience! We are keen to meet new people, immerse ourselves in different cultures, and learn new skills.
A little about us - David has experience as a school teacher and recently worked for a charity that ran workshops for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Emily has supported victims of hate crimes through her work at a charity and recently worked within the equity, diversity, and inclusion team at our local university. While we both felt passionately about the areas we were working in, we both love to travel and have a strong desire to explore and see as much of the world as possible!
We love to learn, and are keen to develop our (very basic) Spanish and Portuguese skills! We are also particularly interested in learning more about farming and sustainable living. While this is not an area we know much about, we are both fast and conscientious learners, and would love the opportunity to find out more about this area of work.

What else ...
We have several hobbies and passions that we love to engage in during our free time. We both enjoy reading and have a strong interest in global affairs and a curiosity about the world around us!
We also love playing card games and backgammon. When we’re not reading or playing games, we love being outdoors and are super lucky to live in the South West of England close to beautiful moorlands and beaches.
We are both very social and love to meet new people! We look forward to sharing these interests and learning about the hobbies and passions of our hosts and fellow travellers!
