Description

Dear friends,

My partner and I are two young Canadians who have set out on a mission to explore and learn from this beautiful world - starting with the Americas!

In February 2024 we quit our jobs and left everything behind to drive from Toronto, Canada to Ushuaia Argentina, the most Southern city in the world, to learn from, and document everything we can.

We have three main goals for this trip:

Explore the Unbeaten path
Learn from the individuals and experiences we encounter along the way
Share and develop our stories, skills, and talents

One of the ways that we believe that we can accomplish these goals is through Workaway.

We are passionate, driven and hardworking individuals who are motivated by challenge and a desire to grow and learn. We have a diverse range of work and life experience that has shaped us into great team workers, learners, and leaders.

We are inspired by the people who are making a positive impact in the world and would love to be a part of that work. We believe we’ve struck a useful balance of working well with others while also being independent and competent workers, ourselves.


Thankyou for considering us!
