Description
Hello! We are new to workaway and excited to get travelling! It has always been a goal of ours to learn Spanish, live in another country, and experience another culture. We are looking to travel to Ecuador to work toward realizing that goal.
We are outdoor enthusiasts, musicians, sometimes engineers, and positive presences! What brings us the most joy is spending quality time with people, hearing their stories, sharing meals, serving others, and playing music together!
We are very excited to learn Spanish but are also excited to share the English language for any of those eager to learn. We are currently working on getting our TEFL certifications.
Tom has experience machining, installing solar panels, painting houses, and raft guiding. Tali has worked on farms and is an experienced photographer, seamstress, cook, and raft guide as well. We are willing to help hosts with whatever they need and are open to learning new things!

The kids are absolutely amazing and so welcoming. The surf classes were always the highlight of the week and we got to help the little kids swim in the waves or help the more experienced ones improve their surfing. Apart from the surf classes, we did activities with the kids in the… read more
We stayed for just under two weeks and had many fantastic conversations with the students. We learned much about daily life in Ambato, local cuisine, and about the personal lives of the students. The teachers and staff at the language center are very kind and welcoming. We were able to form… read more
