Description

Hi all!

We are Henrique (34, half Mexican/half Dutch) and Tess (36, Dutch), a positive-minded and energetic couple living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We love to laugh and bring joy wherever we go! We thrive on meeting new people from different cultures and exploring new places. Our passion for learning about different topics (like nature and animals) drives us to seek new adventures. And we love discussing life and hearing different perspectives and ideologies from other people.

Starting in November 2024 through March 2025, we'll be traveling across South America. We are excited to bring our creativity, energy, and skills to a place where we can both learn and contribute, making a positive impact on the communities we visit.

Henrique grew up speaking Spanish, English, and Dutch, while Tess speaks English and Dutch and is currently learning Spanish. We would be delighted to be part of your project and contribute in any way we can!

We will be happy to be part of your project!
Tess & Henrique
