Descripción

Hello! We are Ewan (23) and Ben (28), two friends from the UK. We met while wildlife guiding in the Highlands of Scotland and both have a keen interest in hiking, bird watching, cooking and exploring new places. We both have degrees in ecology and are looking to help out with conservation work. We are planning to travel parts of South America at the end of 2025 and would like to get involved in a workaway for a month or more along the way. We are both outgoing, friendly people and enjoy getting to know new people and cultures. We would also like to improve our Spanish speaking skills.
