Description
Hello,
we are Carmen and André, an International Couple from Chile and Germany. We met a bit over two years ago on one of the Gulf Islands at Canada's Westcoast. We traveled together for over three months across Mexico and did a few volunteer projects in Oaxaca and Chiapas.
We just came to Europe after living together for half a year in Canada, close to the place we met. We worked in different jobs there, gardening, house cleaning, landscaping and handyman work.
After that beautiful time we had there we decided to go to Europe, actually Carmen's first time ever. We arrived in Amsterdam, visited Hamburg and Berlin. After a few days at my (André's) family we want to go to Italy to volunteer there a bit and see something different than just big cities.

What else ...
As an international couple we combine the best out of two worlds. The spontaneous, more family oriented and relaxed lifestyle of Latin people and the more structured, organised, rational German way.

Working with them was a true gift, both, when they completed tasks on their own and in community as well. if you get the chance to welcome them I highly recommend to go for it.
