Description
Hi there! We are a couple and are new to workaway (since March 2025)! :) But definitely not new to all kinds of physical voluntary work!
Martha (34) is from Hong Kong, and Kegan (64) is from South Africa. We met in a community in Scotland and spent some lovely time there, doing works including maintenance, gardening, cooking, looking after cats and chickens... etc. We both enjoy love the nature (especially the sea), meeting new people and exploring the world with a less conventional way.
We are both fit and keen to do and learn all sorts of things related to living in harmony with the nature. Kegan's previous profession was a paramedic, he is also very handy, able to do maintenance works and has various hobbies such as woodwork and sailing. Martha is an outdoor instructor and an art therapist who enjoys doing yoga, kayaking, climbing and gardening. We both love being creative with music and art, especially drumming!
We hope to meet some of you around the world!

This was our 2nd workaway, and the experience was one of a kind! We stayed there for around two weeks (10th-22nd June 2025). We were given a cosy caravan with an outdoor space where we could cook and also have a braai. The lovely dogs also came around often to keep us company.

Willemien welcomed us with great hospitality, and we felt taken care of and at home for the nine days we were there. (19-27th May 2025)
We helped with a bit of cooking (learning delicious recipes!), painting the walls, and some maintenance work around the house. The… read more
