Description
Hello!
We are a dynamic and experienced couple from the USA and the UK, seeking volunteering opportunities through Workaway. We have both worked outside of our home countries for many years now and have held a plethora of jobs between us. With our combined skills in hostel upkeeping, customer service, and teaching, we are excited to contribute to new projects and connect with others around the world!
We are Ben and Sierra, an outgoing couple who have years of experience working in hospitality and customer-facing roles.
Ben has worked on holiday sites, worked as a Receptionist, Cleaner, Kids Club Manager Barista, Bartender, Retail Store Manager, Kindergarten teacher, Nanny, and Camp Coordinator.
Sierra has experience working as a receptionist at hotels, resorts, and salons, teaching, nannying, and maintaining her family farm back in the US.
As for hobbies:
Ben's hobbies include: gardening, art, hiking, history, exploring new cities, and caring for animals.
Sierra's hobbies include: riding horses, trying new foods, meeting people from all over the world, and camping/hiking.
Before the pandemic, we were frequently traveling and working across Europe, and now that the world has returned to normal, we would very much like to start working and traveling again. (We have visited 5o countries between us!)
Our friends describe us as the most outgoing, sociable, and adventurous couple they know! (we're not like a regular couple, we're a cool couple ;) )
We look forward to meeting you!Interests
