Descripción

We’re happiest when we’re outside, exploring somewhere new and learning from the people around us. After several years working as teachers, we’ve decided to take a step away from the classroom and travel, experience different cultures and spend more time in nature.

We’re particularly passionate about conservation, wildlife, sustainable living and outdoor adventure. We’re currently planning to move to Australia and convert a van into a motorhome, giving us the freedom to travel, work and explore the country at our own pace.

We love being useful, learning practical skills and getting stuck into new experiences. For us, Workaway is a chance to meet interesting people, contribute to meaningful projects and create a life centred around travel, nature, community and adventure.

Que habilidades tienes?

We both have extensive experience working with children, are physically fit, practical and hardworking, and genuinely enjoy being part of family life. We’re also both confident cooks and love sharing knowledge and learning from others.

Martín: I’ve always been very hands-on. From a young age I helped my dad renovate and flip houses and later helped him establish and run his own handyman business, gaining practical experience in construction, woodworking, repairs, painting, maintenance and general DIY. I am comfortable and experienced in most manual labour apart from electrical and plumbing work - but would love the opportunity to learn it. I also have experience in land management and sustainable farming through WWOOFing in Hawaii, where I worked on a farm and gained hands-on experience with land care, outdoor work and working alongside local communities. I’m physically fit, enjoy hard work and am always happy to get stuck into practical tasks or learn new skills.

Courtney: I have extensive experience working with children from nursery age through to sixth form, including children with learning disabilities. I have spent the past 2 years working as a SEN specialist, and excel at communication, behaviour management and sensory work. I’m confident creating a positive, engaging environment for children and am patient and adaptable to different personalities and needs. I also have a degree in Animal Studies and hands-on experience working with livestock, so I’m comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for and learning from them. I’m particularly interested in developing my knowledge of farming, animal care and natural environments.

Together, we’re reliable, adaptable and keen to contribute wherever needed, whether that’s helping with the children, cooking and household tasks, caring for animals, fencing and land work, construction and maintenance, or learning new practical skills on the farm.

Martín: I am a creative at heart - I was an English and Drama teacher so I love literature and performance. I am also an intermediate guitar player and singer and love to play music with others. I am a social person who loves to share time with others, but also love spending time alone and giving others their alone time. I also love sharing and exchanging cultures and knowledge.

Courtney: I am an avid reader, I'm adventurous and like learning about new things, I love animals and kids, I am passionate about sensory education, and I love the outdoors.
