Description
Hi !
We are Caitlin and Charlie. We are an Australian married couple who are currently traveling for 6 months around Africa, India and Nepal. We are very experienced Workawayers and previously spent over 18 months traveling with Workaway throughout South America between 2017 - 2019. We both have volunteer experience outside of Workaway - Caitlin has volunteered in schools in Tanzania, Nicaragua, Peru and Charlie has volunteered in schools in Cambodia, Thailand, and Peru.
Some of our previous Workaways have included hospitality, teaching, carpentry, hotel managing and serving guests, mud brick building, construction and building in the jungle, bar tending, babysitting, cooking and cleaning. So we are really up for anything and love learning new skills which we can take home as well as amazing memories meeting new people and becoming a part of a community.
At home in Australia, Caitlin is a pre-school teacher with a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education, and Charlie is a Social Worker with a Bachelor Degree in Social Sciences. His current specialty is social work with homeless communities in Greater Sydney. We are both extremely hard workers and give everything our absolute all.
We have many additional skills including carpentry and building, cooking, teaching English language and are keen learners willing to learn anything.
We hope to hear from you!Interests
