Description

Hi! We’re Antonia and Ben, a couple from the UK who first met while working for a medical charity in Colombia, designing, making, and providing prosthetic limbs across the country. That experience sparked our shared love for travel, cultural exchange, and meaningful connection and we’ve been exploring together ever since.

From late 2025 to mid-2026, we’ll be travelling through Central America and are looking for Workaway opportunities where we can contribute our skills, meet incredible people, and learn from the communities we visit.

Who We Are

🔹 Antonia is a primary school teacher in London with over three years of experience. She has a strong background in content writing and currently manages the social media for a yoga influencer, blending her professional and creative talents. She grew up speaking Portuguese, studied Spanish at university, and is passionate about languages, communication, and education. In her spare time, she enjoys Pilates, reading, and exploring new cuisines and cultures.

🔹 Ben works in mental healthcare, providing CBT therapy for the NHS and leading nature walks for people struggling with their mental health through a local charity. He previously worked in medical engineering, so he’s hands-on, technically-minded, and a natural problem solver. He also holds a Level 5 TEFL qualification, which he put to use teaching English during his last Workaway in Colombia. Ben is a keen hiker and long-distance runner, with a love for both everyday and extreme sports.

What We Offer

- Together, we bring a wide range of skills:
- Education & Teaching (children and adults)
- Mental health awareness & support
- Content creation & social media management
- English/Spanish language exchange
- Technical & practical problem-solving
- Hospitality & guest interaction
- Pet care & house sitting (we’ve just finished a few months of pet-sitting and love being around animals!)
- Open minds and positive energy

We’re reliable, hard-working, and quick to adapt. Whether it’s teaching, gardening, helping with animals, or lending a hand on an or eco-project.

Why Workaway?

For us, travelling is about more than just seeing new places - it's about being part of something. We value meaningful exchange, learning new skills, and getting to know people from different cultures and walks of life. We love hearing stories, sharing laughs, and giving back wherever we can.

We’d love to hear from you if you're looking for a motivated and thoughtful couple who are ready to jump in and help. Let's connect!
