Description
Hey! We are Alice and Anna, both 25 and from England!
We are soon starting our long-awaited trip across the globe, exploring South and Central America. We're looking forward to volunteering with Hostels, Animal Sanctuary's and Sustainability Projects along the way.
We're both animal lovers, enjoy being in nature, immersing ourselves in new cultures, and both aren't afraid of hard work and getting our hands dirty!! We are both Spanish beginners, and can't wait to learn more!
Exploring new places outside of our comfort zone is what our heart's desire - the best decisions are generally the scariest ones to make!
We both feel happiest when in nature, whether it be on a beach or in the countryside.
A key motivation for us both is job satisfaction and sense of accomplishment; whether it be from learning a new skill, or perfecting an old one! We're active and reasonably strong, and always willing to give something a go, but equally know when to ask for help! We consider ourselves efficient, organised worker's, and will really get stuck in.
Thank you for reading, we look forward to meeting you!
