  • Description

    We are a couple who met in South East Asia when we were both on seperate backpacking trips in 2019/2020. Since then we have been together for over 4 years and are now travelling through central and South America.

    We have travelled for 3 months together so far on this trip and both of us would like to slow down, spend more time in locations and have more of a routine - all of which a Workaway job will help with.

    See below for a section about each of us:

    James:

    I'm James, 30, from the UK and in order to do this year abroad, I was lucky enough to take a sabbatical from my job as a project manager in the nuclear industry.

    I absolutely love to travel, meet new people, explore cultures and I feel like workaway will help me with all of this. My real passion for travel/backpacking started around 4 years ago when I first backpacked through SE Asia and ended up meeting my current girlfriend.

    At home, I am passionate tennis player but also cycle and enjoy football. I spend a lot of time hiking, being in nature and borrowing my parents campervan when possible.

    I've always grown up with pets (usually cats) but spent a lot of time with family dogs in the past.

    Overall, I feel I am very suited to workaway because I am kind, easy going, honest and have years of experience in a real workplace with very high standards.

    Ida:

    I’m Ida, 25 from Germany and since I travelled around South East Asia 4 years ago i really found my passion about travelling, nature, animals and meeting new people.

    Because of this, I decided to study social work to be in constant contact with people and especially with children. Working with children in any way brings the most joy in my life and I love to interact and play with them. I am most motivated when I see them smiling and laughing because the love they can give to everyone is incredible.

    Besides working/interacting with people I found my peace in nature. The last 3 years I have lived in the Black Forest in Germany and really enjoyed my time there. I spent a lot of time hiking, running, swimming in lakes and skiing - I even completed my first two half marathons. Seeing the different seasons in the nature with all the different plants, trees and animals motivates me every time to spent more time out in nature.

    I’m happy that I found a partner like James in my life, who can share most of my passions and interest in life. We love to travel around the world, exploring, hiking, finding viewpoints, cooking together and learning more about each other.
