Hello!
Our story begins at a humble yoga ashram in the Bahamas. Jillian volunteered for 7 hours a day at reception while I, Marita, worked on completing my advanced teacher training course. Soon we relized we wanted to continue this journey together. At that point Jillian had a prior committment of 2 months in Mexico working at a workaway hotel and I was already headed to grape pick in Margret River, Australia. Luckily our paths reunited and we can now continue to see the world with each other and share in each other’s light and love while meeting people and gaining skills along the way.
Jillian’s background is in childcare with 5 years experience and she is truely magical with children. She charges into every adventure with passion and commitment. She is very adaptable and can pick up any skill.
Marita has worked for 6 years as a painter while completing a science degree in exercise science. She has also worked on a coffee farm, a sheep farm, grape picking, teaching yoga, physiotherapy assistant, coaching teenagers, and general outdoor maintenance, so needless to say her skills vary and she would be more than happy to assist in any need. She is outgoing and has no problem getting along with everyone.
We are so excited to see where this crazy ride of workaway takes us and we hope you are apart of it!
