Descripción

Hello! We are Phil and Annabel, from Canada/England. We met each other in Guatemala in January 2023, at an acroyoga/tantra festival.

Phil - I'm a friendly Canadian who is passionate about plants, climbing, and acroyoga. I've been working outdoors as a horticulturalist for 8 years now. My industry credentials include a Red Seal in Landscape Horticulture and am a certified designer with the North American Permaculture Institute.

I've climbed for about 5 years, will be bringing gear, and am always eager to share what I've learnt so others can adventure. The same is true of acroyoga, and myself and Annabel teach acroyoga classes together.

I'm an easy going open minded human who believes that nature is the best teacher. Hoping to learn and grow through doing workaway - I'm particularly interested in expanding my skills to include more sustainability & construction (natural if possible) as well as getting more practice designing for others.

Annabel - I love travelling, meeting new people and exploring different cultures. Over the last 7 years, I've spent many months solo backpacking through South America, Central America, Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia.

I trained as a primary school teacher and taught for two years before deciding to explore other avenues. Since then, I've had experience managing a medical clinic for over a year and have been working as a landscaper in Canada for the last few weeks.
