Hi everyone!
We're a Alexandra and Dan, a couple of easy-going travellers always searching for new experiences and hungry to learn about different cultrures and lifestyles.
After meeting in Norway in 2015, living for several months in Italy and several years in Ireland, we decided to set off on a new adventure - Central & South America.
We've been in this part of the world since June 2022. So far, we've travelled through Costa Rica (one month dedicated to a Workaway in a hostel), Ecuador (2 months of workaway in a mountain hotel), Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.
Now - Chile.
Vitals about us:
Very easy-going, tolerant and laid-back couple. Curious about the world, universe, science, history, culture, philosophy and so much more. Dan loves cooking, Alex - baking sweets. Interested in meeting new people to find out about their world view and perspective.
Above all, we love travelling, discovering new places and being exposed to new customs and cultures, We are always interested in local history, traditions and lifestyle.
