Description

Hi there :)
I’m Nelly, 24 and currently exploring my way up the Americas starting in Columbia.

I prefer the slow way of travelling, getting in touch with people and a sense for their culture. I've already done a few workaways in Columbia, Panama and Guatemala and I'm now looking for projects in México.

Last year I finished my biology degree, therefore I’m especially interested in joining projects that are exploring the ways of living with nature and not in spite of it. I’m curious to learn about the whole process of where the food we consume is coming from in order to get a better understanding of it/hoping to reconnect with the value of it.
In the last two years I participated in a small garden, but there is so much more to learn. I want to get my hands dirty!

During this trip I’m hoping to meet open minded people that are happy to share about their life and ideas while cooking a good meal together, making music etc. I’m happy to do the same!
I’d also love to improve my very basic Spanish skills, in exchange I can offer German, English or French.

Looking forward in participating in your project :))

Hello! My name is David, I'm 24 years old, and I'm from Germany.

I am currently travelling from Spain to Mexico, visiting friends who are conveniently spread out around the world.

This would be my first time using Workaway, and I am really excited as I have heard about lots of interesting and inspiring experiences. I hope to experience a different type of travel to what I am used to and gain a better understanding of what it's really like to live in and care for nature.

I study geosciences, and I enjoy reading, spending time in nature and having a coffee in a calm place. I love animals, and I am always happy to learn new things and try new activities.

My dream is to live on a farm with lots of animals and always be building new things and maintaining the old. I would love to learn some useful skills for this. :)

I speak german and english fluent and have basic skills in spanish wich i would like to improve!

Have a nice day!
