  • Description

    Hello - we are Joe and Yi! We are an engaged couple from Pennsylvania USA. We have a diverse range of skills and travel experience. Joe is an organic vegetable farmer and Yi is a digital marketing project manager. We are currently building out our own organic vegetable farm on our land.

    Before diving into our careers, we spent all of 2019 “workawaying” our way through Taiwan, Laos, Japan, Korea, and New Zealand. We loved the genuine experiences, connections, and lessons we earned on our journey. For us, workaway provides us with the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the culture of the country we are traveling in and to make real relationships and memories with locals and other travelers. Being able to provide value and help to the people we meet and learn from adds a depth to traveling that we love.

    We are planning to visit Latin America this December 2023 and would love to be able to help you and learn from you.

    We are hardworking, kind, and curious people! We both speak English as a first language, Yi also speaks Mandarin fluently, and Joe speaks Spanish and Lao at a conversational level.
