Description

Hello! We’re Won and Emma, a couple excited to connect and contribute!

We're a couple in our early 30s with roots in the US/Korea (one of us!) and England/Netherlands (the other!). We're friendly, reliable, and open-minded travelers who love experiencing different cultures and ways of life — and Workaway seems like the perfect way to do that while giving back.

We both have a range of skills to offer:
– Won is degree educated in Mechanical Engineering, however never decided to work in the field, as working for his family store in San Francisco was a priority after finishing his degree.
- Emma is degree educated in Sociology and Criminology and worked in recruitment before leaving to travel.
- We met whilst travelling in South East Asia nearly three years ago and have been travelling together ever since - I'd say we are pretty passionate about travelling as it brings us JOY.
- We lived in New Zealand and worked on a dairy farm - we are both passionate about the outdoors, deeply caring about animals and where our produce comes from.
– We're happy to get our hands dirty, learn new things, and pitch in wherever needed.
– We also enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories, FOOD, and laughs.

We value respectful communication, a strong work ethic, and contributing positively to the communities we’re part of. Whether it’s helping with daily tasks or bigger projects, we’re up for it!

We're hoping to find hosts who are open, kind, and enjoy a good cultural exchange. In return, you’ll find us easygoing, trustworthy, and genuinely eager to help.

Looking forward to meeting you!
