Description

Hii, we are Brenda, from Argentina, and Ignace, from Belgium.
We are very enthusiastic and curious people, we love new challenges and we are super eager to embark on a new adventure exchanging knowledge and life paths with people in the UK!

We have tons of different interests and experience in many fields.
Ignace has worked in retail, human resources, and bartending, so his social skills are on point! He was also part of the belgian Scouts, which has taught him a lot about team work, survival and building.
Brenda has experience working in retail (owns her own clothing shop in Argentina), teaching languages and running Non-Profits in a small town in the countryside in South America.

To the list of our working experiences we must add our newest one: we are currently working as cooks at the restaurant of a Bed and Breakfast in Albania. We are both very passionate about cooking and baking and being able to do it in a professional setting has been a very fulfilling experience. We are learning a lot about what it takes to run a kitchen and to come up with dishes that clients love. We have been very lucky that the owners of the restaurant placed their full trust in our skills from the very beginning of our stay.

Apart from our work we have a lot of hobbies and interests.
Ignace is a musician, has a talent for bonding with people from all backgrounds, and really enjoys outdoors and sports.
Brenda has lived in the countryside for a few years learning new skills: gardening, woodworking and painting, handling farm animals and cooking with whatever the garden has to offer.
We also love languages, we can speak English, Dutch, Spanish and some French, Italian and Portuguese.

We are very excited about what the UK has in store for us during this next step in our trip!
