Description

Hi!
We are Keith and Solei, a mature and active couple, still in a good shape to give others a hand (or two) to help building your dream, complete a project or anything we have the capacity to collaborate with. Keith thrives on construction and building things, and Solei is great with languages, cooking, gardening and coaching.

Solei has a BA in Education and Literature from the University of Santiago, Chile. Keith has a degree in Business from the University of California at Berkeley, and an MBA in Sustainability.
We both love nature and to learn about permaculture, we believe it is possible to restore the Earth or at least stop destroying it by making little sustainable changes. We know it is possible, we have seeing amazing initiatives in South America in terms of natural building or a wise way to use resources. We want to get to know those who are doing the work, participate and celebrate with them and share the experience with others to inspire more people to do the same.

We are choosing Work Away in order to share with people of the world's cultures, fulfill our passion for travel, and write/blog about the positive earth-friendly changes and lifestyles on the planet.
We will be: hardworking, responsible, polite, friendly, giving, coherent, organized, and flexible; we give what we would like to receive.
