Description
My girlfriend (Tal) and I (Spencer) love travelling and all the opportunities it brings. We spent 18 months travelling from January 2022 and after 6 months of being home we got fed up and had to get back out and do more travelling.
We joined Work Away so that we could have more authentic travel experiences and we haven't regretted it so far. We have had some amazing experiences and have met awesome people along the way! Some of our previous work away experiences have included house sitting, animal care (dogs, cats chickens and goats), gardening, painting and various outdoor jobs.
We are easy going, sociable people that enjoy meeting new faces and making unforgettable memories!
We are particularly interested in wildlife/nature, music, trying new foods, learning about the local history and culture of the places we visit.

More details about your skills
Atalya: A recent Law School graduate, I have several years worth of work in hospitality and customer service. I am a keen musician with over a decade of experience, and I enjoy being creative. I have volunteered at animal sanctuary which included tasks such as cleaning enclosures, feeding, giving medicines and helping build enclosures. I’m fit and active and so wouldn’t shy away from a physically demanding job.
Spencer: I have worked in medical laboratories, meaning I am a good cleaner. I worked as an on-call firefighter, so I am not shy of physical work. Whilst travelling in Australia, I worked as a dishwasher and volunteered at a wildlife Sanctuary. I enjoy being active/busy and am a self motivated.
