Description
Note: We've done 12 long-term Workaways over 3 years (we've been back in 3 of them), and we've made lifelong friends that we still keep in touch with! We helped many people with their projects, learning new things and skills that we are sure will be of extreme importance for our entire life.

We do not consider ourselves tourists, we help people in their projects, in exchange for sharing moments, culture, language, and making friends. We highly value mutual respect and consider it a genuine exchange (a mutual gain).

We respect the space and time of all the other people, especially if we share the house with them; so we like to enjoy time together but at the same time we understand the value of private time. Could this work for all of us?

We have been together for over 7 years, we're an independent, responsible, and simple couple but extremely organized, tidy, and clean.

Bruno worked with IT for different companies for over 6 years, since he was 16. In case you wish to see what he did in his working life you can find him on Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/bruno-rebello/)
Laleska has a degree in HR and has worked with it in a big pharmaceutical company.

Our passions are riding bikes (he travels with his road bike inside a big case), animals, eating good food, nature, good music, peace, games, and having a nice time with nice people :) We like to live a quiet, healthy, balanced, and peaceful life.

Over the years we started to feel that we were living the same day every day, an almost empty life. As we are young and have a lot of time ahead, we decided to travel the world on an adventure and a journey of self-knowledge and evolution, where we seek to leave our comfort zone completely, helping people in their projects, acquire experiences, meet new people, new cultures, languages and developing new skills.

What else ...
We were educated by our family about the importance of doing chores and taking care of the home, so we will always contribute to keeping the place better than we found it and keep our accommodation and home clean. Also, we had our apartment in Brazil and we know the cost and the importance of looking after it and the respect and responsibility necessary.

As a host, I was looking for someone to take care of the house, animals, and premises, while being on a pilgrimage for 1 month and a half. At first, I was scared to find someone enough skilled and responsible for such an important task. Fortunately, I met Bruno and Laleska. I was immediately relieved from the very first video call.

Before we went we had a call with Ruth and in the middle/end of the call, it was very clear to us that she is an incredible person and it would be an amazing experience.

This couple was with me for a 90 day stay. We bonded over so many things, I felt that I had known them forever, and was joking we should draw up adoption papers and add them to my will. They are very disciplined within their own sense of self and purpose. Bruno brings his own bicycle with him all around the world and keeps to a routine of fitness… read more

Bruno and Laleska were our first workawayers and we feel like we hit the jackpot with them! They are a wonderfully positive young couple with boundless energy. Bruno is an exceptional cyclist who likes to ride his bike in the afternoons. He cycles remarkable distances and should probably be a professional cyclist. Laleska is kind and organised and… read more
