Description
Hello everyone! We are Lilly and Max, a couple from Germany in our twenties. We have been together for almost 10 years now and, after spending most of our bachelor's degree at home due to the pandemic, we now want to discover more of the world.
We are currently planning our trips to Finland and Ireland, which is our first traveling experience over workaway. We are trying to make a dream come true here! :)
We want to get out our comfort zone, get to know new places and be outside of our everyday routine. We hope to learn a lot about ourselves, but also pick up some new skills. We're looking forward to meeting lovely people and enjoying the beautiful outdoors. ⛰🌿
Max is currently working as a software engineer and Lilly is finishing her master's degree to work as a librarian. In our free time, we can either be found indoors crocheting and playing video or board games with our friends, or outdoors reading in a café or exploring new places. We live in Leipzig, which is a big city and we try to take advantage of the city's wide range of cultural activities.
We also enjoy hiking (with varying degrees of success) and Max in particular is a big fan of cycling, covering up to 150 km per day.
We are both active volunteers, Max as a firefighter and Lilly as a tutor.
We are rather quiet folks at first but we warm up quickly! We are friendly and helpful people, but you'll have to see for yourselves! :)
We would like to learn more about caring for animals and farm work, as well as sustainable and slow living. In Finland and Ireland we are also looking forward to learning more about the respective cultures and ways of life! -
