Our next destination:
Australia - from Aug 2025 until Feb 2026 View all
Description
We are a travelling couple currently spending half a year in Australia during a break of our studies.
Mary is a midwife and currently studies medicine while Silas is about to complete his Master's degree in international finance.
We'd both consider ourselves well-travelled for our age with having been to 56 countries. We mostly low-budgedly backpacked them by heart, couchsurfed in 45 of them, and hitchhiked over 100 vehicles in over 38 countries.

More details about your skills
We both have gained several different work experiences from abroad during our travels. After different farm and orchard work, we tried ourselves as English teachers in Laos and Mongolia. Also, we both were Au-Pairs, Silas twice in New Zealand and Mary once in Canada.
Mary loves writing her travel diaries and is passionate about cooking delious meals and loves being outdoors.
Silas turned himself into a storyteller over the last few years after having lived and studied in several countries. He's always keen on a spontaneous trip into the wild (or as he would say, into the wopwops :D).
Age

What else ...
We are on workaway to have the opportunity to gain local experiences, contribute to sustainable initiatives, learn new skills, and have lifelong lasting new memories.
