Description

Hi!!! We are Javier and Lorena, sociable and friendly couple from Uruguay. We love travel for knowing new places, people, their culture and stories.

Our hobbies are doing hiking, trekking, camping and all relative to nature. We are dogs lover but also like all kind of animals, and enjoy their company.
We love cooking, making crafts. During the covid we painted our home, restored some of our furniture and discovered that we really enjoy those activities, like using things you have at home to improve things. That was our first step to get courage to test ours skills. With the electrical knowledge Javier has, we did the electrical installation of our house. Also we change the floor of our living room. so we have some experience in maintenance ; )

We like new challenges, we can learn fast and love to learn new things.

We are very excited with the possibility Workaway give us such as to be part of a project where we can feel part of. Meet nice people, live new experiences and get know new places.

We travelled to different countries such as Argentina, France, Belgium, Netherland, Italy, Prague, Scotland and Iceland. Also we have been living in Ireland since September 2022, working and studding English.

Our main aim in life is to enjoy everything we do, life is to short for not enjoying it.

We hope to get the chance to get to know you! :-)
