Description
¡Hola!
We are Camila and Ruben, a Colombian-Dutch couple passionate about exploring new cultures, connecting with people, and contributing positively to the communities we visit. We recently quit our full-time jobs as project manager and business developer in Europe to take a break, travel, and explore new opportunities.
We are excited about projects that allow us to contribute meaningfully, such as helping to grow local businesses, farm work, eco-friendly initiatives, creative ventures, or ocean-related activities. At the heart of everything we do is a deep desire to connect with people, learn from them, and contribute to meaningful projects that align with our values. Whether it's sharing our knowledge, diving into new experiences, or working together on something impactful, we’re excited for the journey ahead!
We’re currently traveling through Oceania and Southeast Asia, seeking cultural exchanges, meaningful contributions, and unforgettable experiences.
