Description

Hello 🤗

this is Stefanie and André.
We're back on the road, working and exploring beautiful Europe. 🌍🇭🇷✈️

Stefanie is a 35 year old primary teacher from Austria. She has a different approach on teaching and wants to enable children, with the ideas of Maria Montessori, to become the best version of themselves.
In her free times she loves baking, reading, doing Yoga, going for a run, crochet, gardening and listening to music.
In Mai 2021, after 6 years of teaching Stefanie started working as a waitress again. She worked in an old mill where she took orders, handed out food/drinks, cleaned a lot and often worked late hours.
She also started working as a bowl artist, to gain more work experience in working with foods. In this job she prepared beautiful and healthy bowls for the customers day by day but was also responsible for prepping the food in the mornings and cleaning up after the day.
She is a reliable, friendly and creative person who is always calm, confident and curious. Stefanie loves it to learn something new and meet people from different cultures.

André is a 37 year old media designer from Germany, who is a passionated cook that loves to build things out of wood and is amazing by helping everything around the house.
He worked as a media designer for a big company in Germany for over 10 years. He has a lot of experience in this field.
When he moved to Vienna in 2019 he wanted to learn something new. So he started working in a bakery. There he's making the customers really happy with selling delicious baking goods and coffee to them. In the mornings he often gets up early to handle all the work that has to be done to open the bakery around 5:30 am every day.
Healthy and nutritional food are very important for him. So, in the past year he to took course at a vegan nutrition program and he's becoming a professional vegan nutritionist soon.
He is a kind, open minded guy that has a good sense of humor and never minds to do some hard work. André also loves it to meet new people from different cultures and to develop new skills.

In the hustle and bustle of our everyday life we recognized we needed some change and discover the variety of cultures, plaves and people of our beautiful planet 😍🌎🌷
We met, traveling Canada in 2018 where we spent the most amazing time doing workaway. So we decided to travel again.
We are so looking forward to help lovely people, learn a lot of new skills, collect memories, get to know different countries and cultures and hopefully make a lot of new friends all over the world ❤️
