With 4-7 years of experience in marketing, event planning, and hospitality, as well as part-time work in the F&B/retail industry during our university years, we're proud to say that we're versatile and capable of handling a wide range of tasks.
During our Workaway experiences, we have racked up and showcased a couple of skills;
🌳Gardening & Landscaping
🐑 Animal Care (drenching, vaccination, grooming & maintenance, and more)
🐱 House & Pet Sitting
🎨 Painting & Varnishing
🍳 Cooking & Baking

🧹 We are extremely good at organising and clearing messes
Plus we are very keen to learn carpentry and contribute to building projects.
As self-proclaimed fast learners, our work ethos is defined by thoroughness, resourcefulness, and proactivity. While not professional chefs, we enjoy cooking and share a love for baking.
We thrive on continuous learning, eagerly absorbing new knowledge if you're willing to teach, and reciprocating by sharing our insights.

What else ...
Equipped with our own cars and valid driving licenses, transportation is not a concern for us.
Alicia is still working remotely as a Marketing Consultant and would need a place with good wifi.
Given the fluidity of our travel plans, there's a possibility of either one or both of us helping out at yours!

The weather was a bit of a bummer and we didn't get as much work done as we'd like, but Paul was pretty understanding in that regard. 100% would recommend him as a host!
