Description

/currently in Queensland, Australia/

Hey!

We are HANNA (27) and MAGNUS (31), a young couple from ESTONIA. After working and studying for most of our lives, we would like to DISCOVER new places and MEET new and interesting people from all over the world. We are INDEPENDENT couple who love TRAVELLING and ANIMALS, especially DOGS.

We would really like to experience the true spirit of different countries, national cuisines, everyday lives and customs. Getting this kind of experience would make our lives and travelling more enjoyable.

With the help of WORKAWAY COMMUNITY we've done trips through parts of Europe (UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal) and Australia (VIC, TAS). During our trips we learned a lot about different life aspects, how to get by, how to blend in to a new environment and more importantly, learned about ourselves - what motivates us, how we like to travel and live our life, what to look for in life.

Our mother tongue is Estonian but we both speak pretty good English. We are open to LEARNING new WORKING SKILLS and getting LANGUAGE PRACTISE through meeting locals.

Preferably we would like to STAY in one place from 2 weeks up to 1 month.

We are HARD-WORKING, TIDY, RESPONSIBLE and our timetable is FLEXIBLE.

We have had previous WORKAWAY EXPERIENCES in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal and Australia (VIC, TAS).

Down below is written more about us and our PREVIOUS WORK and workaway EXPERIENCES. Feel free to write and ask more about us and our experiences!

We are looking forward to meeting you!

Cheers,
Magnus and Hanna
