Descripción

Hi we're Dan and Bella, a young couple from the UK. 😊 We are kind and friendly, love meeting new people and learning new things. We’re looking to travel and make some great memories before we start working full time in the autumn. We're both engineers - which is how we met! - so particularly enjoy practical, hands-on tasks, building things and solving problems.

Bella: I’m from Scotland originally and I have just spent the last 6 months living on Orkney, an archipelago of islands off the mainland's North coast, volunteering with a conservation project. My day to day there involved lots of walking across the island's rugged terrain and I loved being outside and so close to nature. I also really enjoyed learning a number of new land management skills associated with the nature reserves I spent time working on. I am passionate about protecting the environment, so I found my time there very rewarding! Some of my other hobbies and pastimes include fell running/hiking, gardening, bird-watching, swimming and playing the fiddle/violin. More than anything I love to try new things!

Dan: I’m an Englishman, nearly finished with university and generally keen on life! I’ve worked-away on two projects previously, and am keen to find the next one with the lovely Bella. These were wood and metalwork focused, and required hard work in the high temperatures of midsummer Spain/Austria. I’ve experienced working under little supervision through past experience in a soup kitchen, a couple foodbanks, a robot competition and many part time jobs. I like playing and writing music the most, but can get stuck into all that Bella said really (except violin and bird identification, they're hard!).

Workaway affords a chance to meet generous, incredible, talented people that are kind enough to share their lovely lives and homes with you. We’d love to join you and give some back ❤️

We’re both very fond of music. Dan plays the trumpet and guitar and Bella, the fiddle/violin.

We love making and eating good food, we'd love to learn and try your favourite local recipes!
