Description

Hi, we are a couple that have been interested in moving to a new country, start something new, when we heard about workaway. We immediately found it interesting. We both love to travel, we love activities, we love animals, we are social and get along with most people, and we love to help.

In spring this year Siri rented out her home and moved into a motorhome. Rune was triggered by the idea and have been helping to improve the motorhome and make it more practical. Living in a motorhome was easier than expected. The next level of living seems to be to work our way through different places and locations. We both agree that the experience is so much richer when we are in contact with other people. And in addition, it makes every day more meaningful when we have someone to help.

We are especially inspired by animal welfare and society oriented projects.

We like to be active, to create something, to spend time in nature, to be by the water, to go hiking, to be around animals, to learn new things. In addition, Rune loves to read books. Siri likes to dance; kizomba, zouk, bachata, salsa.
