Description
Hi!
We are Mia and Helin, a couple from Germany. We are both open-minded, adventurous and creative people with a love for the environment, people, art, music, literature and animals.
As two people from different cultural backgrounds who live together, cultural exchange is a natural part of our everyday life that we both value a lot. We also both love kids and have a lot of experience with them.
In 2024 we stayed in Ireland for six weeks as workawayers and had an amazing time. We volunteered with cleaning, tidying up, child-minding, gardening, household tasks and building a house with ecological materials among other things. For 2025 we are looking to workaway in Malta for six weeks.
Mia:
I am studying to be an elementary school teacher. I love working with people, animals and being creative.
For my degree I have to spend some time abroad in an English-speaking country. That's why we have decided to do some workawaying in Malta, a country which we both have wanted to visit for a long time.
Helin:
I'm studying Social Economics and have worked all kinds of different jobs before: f.e. babysitting, waiting tables, taking care of elderly people or at a grocery store.
I love cooking and gardening.
We are flexible, easy-going people, open to all different kinds of hosts and opportunities to volunteer. We would love to get to know new people, immerse ourselves in a new culture and experience a different way of life than our own. We are also both very responsible and always happy to learn something new.
Since we are a queer couple it is important to us to stay with someone LGBTQ-friendly :)
