Description
Hi there!
We’re Helena and Mo from the UK (kind of - both immigrant kids, who grew up in the UK, but for the last 6 years we lived in Germany!), a couple in our 30s currently exploring the vibrant cultures of South America and Asia on a two-year world adventure. With backgrounds in engineering and procurement, we’ve traded our office lives to discover what the world has to offer!
We’re passionate about immersing ourselves in local communities, learning new practical skills and discovering different lifestyles. We’re keen to improve our Spanish, get our hands dirty in the garden, and help out with anything from construction to cooking. We absolutely love animals—especially dogs—and are experienced pet sitters with glowing reviews on TrustedHouseSitters.
When we’re not working, you’ll find us hiking through nature, devouring books, trying out new recipes, or cheering on a local sports team. We’d love to help you with your projects while learning from you and soaking in the local culture. Looking forward to connecting with you.
