Description

Hi everyone, we're Wes and Isabelle

We're both from a small town in the western United States. Wes grew up on a small ranch and has always enjoyed working with plants and animals. He also renovates houses professionally and is skilled in many areas of construction, gardening, and business management. Isabelle is a big sister to six younger siblings and has worked as an au pair in three different countries. She is also an incredible vegan cook. We first went traveling together in 2019. We've done Workaway at farms, hostels, and schools in Cyprus, Turkey, and Morocco.

We both aspire to live simply. We are environmentalists who tend to our own garden and are always looking for ways to live more sustainable lives. Our dream is to one day build our own sustainable farm. We would love to do Workaway somewhere we can learn about permaculture, natural building, preserving food, mycology, beekeeping, renewable energy, or can assist with childcare and housework.
