Description

Hello,

At the beginning of February we are going on a trip to South America, where we would like to stay at least for a few months. We prefer slow travel and would like to spend most of it volunteering. We will start with a few months in Chile.

We're happy to try pretty much anything, but we certainly wouldn't be against working outdoors in the garden, on the farm, etc. It will not be our first experience of living or working abroad, nor our first experience with Workaway. We spent two weeks volunteering together through Workaway in Georgia, helping to prepare for the construction of a house, trying our hand at plastering using the traditional earth method, and making a safe for the wine containers we found in the ground - kvevri.

As part of the Workaway programme, Anna already worked for a month at a small bed and breakfast in Provence, France in 2019, where she helped with babysitting, preparing breakfast for guests, helping with the garden, general maintenance, cleaning the house and pool. Jakub worked in the USA through programme Work and Travel in the gift shop and an icecream store. During his further work experience he has worked in Prague, Slovakia and most recently in Spain. Plus, we both spent our Erasmus in France and Jakub was also in Canada.

We both love to travel and spend time in nature, preferably in the mountains and forests, that's where we feel like at home. We are looking forward to spending time with you!

More details about my language interests
We are interested in learning any new language! Unfortunately, Anna doesn't speak Spanish, so she would like to learn at least the basics in South America. She would also like to improve her French.
