Description
Hello, we are Dora and Gabor from Hungary. We are beside each other for 13 years and married in 2016. We are travel bugs and visited many countries in the last few years but we felt that a holiday is never enough to explore the culture and get to know a country's real life. That's why we decided to quit our 9 to 5 jobs and start a long journey around the world in 2018. We traveled for almost a year and volunteered at 10 places, helped many families, and made life-long friendships. It was the best year ever and it is time for chapter 2! We are eager to help local people, change our knowledge and experiences, and make the world a bit better.

More details about your skills
I am (Dora) a marketer, so can help with any marketing task even if it's online, have graphic design, and creative skills. I love arts, cooking, have a special interest in healthy eating and living, and love to work with animals. We both love to be creative, always finding projects around the house and build by ourselves. My husband (Gabor) is a chemist in his profession, but he quit his job and just started working as a photographer. He is a great handyman, he can fix anything around the house, he is passionate about creating stuff and make things work better. He worked on constructions, roofing, even beside a smith, he just finished a total renovation in our apartment, did everything from scratch including (walls, flooring, tiles, painting, etc.)
I love to take part in building projects, and learned a lot from him, also was a great side worker during volunteering.
We did 10 workaways in 2018 that was always the best experience on our journey. We worked on different projects from mud building, meditation center, art projects, hospitality to construction. How can we help you? 😊

We absolutely loved have Dora and Gabor helping us for 2 weeks.
They came after the awful Sahara sand storms when we were overwhelmed with the cleaning and painting that was required. They worked hard in our team of volunteers and contributed significantly to getting us back on our feet. Gabor is confident and skilled in fixing and making things,… read more

We had an amazing stay with Clare and Doug, it was one of our most memorable workaways! The property is a piece of paradise, we were lucky enough to stay in the guest villa and it was truly like a dream to wake there up with that breathtaking panoramic view!

Dora and Gabor helped me for 5 weeks with multiple projects. They are reliable, hard working, have a lot of character, are trustworthy, and can work independently, or as part of a team. Gabor is proficient in the use of many tools: angle grinder, circular saw, chain saw, drills, and hand tools. Tools were always put away and the workplace has… read more never been more organised! He understood the importance of choosing the right timber for specific projects, crucial in the Daintree Rainforest, due to termites and timber rot. Dora helped Gabor, but also completed many projects on her own, she is excellent at painting and planted many plants around the property. Dora also helped prepare the holiday house for the arrival of guests. We accomplished a great many things in the time they were here, some major jobs were making the chicken pen snake proof, re roofing part of my dwelling, and putting in some extra supporting posts to stop the floor from shaking, putting up a car port roof at the holiday house, adding to roof for water collecting at the top of the hill, cutting and moving large logs for better flow and car access, putting up cement sheeting, levelling a floor and laying vinyl tiles, and putting up a roof at the fire pit area. They always helped in the kitchen with cooking and cleaning, we all enjoyed experimenting with the pizza oven, Gabor was very helpful with lighting the fires. They cleaned up after themselves and always respected my property, they were also tolerant of limitations in an off grid environment being careful with their use of water and power. At one point my mother became ill and they were helpful, kind and considerate when I needed help with her wheel chair and general care needs. They make a great team and could easily run their own B&B or holiday house, Dora is experienced in dealing with different personalities and has good English language skills. Gabor has excellent spatial awareness, with Dora's help with translation, some diagrams, and pointing at the work, it was easy to communicate what needed doing. They could easily take care of someone else's property/holiday business with some site specific training. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing volunteers or paid employees, they have good personal habits, present extremely well, and have oodles of integrity. Best of luck in your future adventures and hope to see you back here one day!!!!

There are no words to describe this place. That 2 weeks we spent here was life changing experience. We can not be more grateful for Punya to let us be part of that magic.
