Hello :)
We are Carmen and Ben from Germany. We decided to leave our old lives behind (at least for a little while) and travel through Australia.
Besides hiking and learning to surf we're interested in working and helping out on small farms and other projects.
Carmen:
I have studied communication design and have been working in an advertising agency as a motion designer. While I love doing art and being creative, the agency life was not 100% it. Being inside all day, always under pressure and kind of isolated from the outside world made me really appreciate being out in nature and the peace of mind that comes with it.
Ben:
I have studied electrical engineering and have been working as a software developer, optimizing grid-scale energy storages. I did enjoy this theoretical work but also realized that sitting and staring onto a screen is not how I want to be spending most of my time.
In April I helped renovating an old farmhouse, which i enjoyed very much. Being able to see the progress of a day’s work motivates me a lot.
I always enjoyed building and optimizing things and I am eager to learn and to improve my skills.Interests

From the first second on we felt like home. We were two of six workawayers so it was a big and fun community. Norma and Jim made sure all of us had a great time and drove or picked us up from anywhere we wanted to go around the area.
We never got bored: We went from cutting back the fruit trees and… read more
