Hi,
We're Les and Kelly.
We have had so many amazing experiences volunteering on here and have met so many wonderful humans, that we decided to sign up for another year.
Our goal is to see as many new places as possible, learn new skills, meet new people and help make a difference by getting involved in the local community and help local businesses, families, projects and really anything that alings with our values. .
Please check out our skills section to see if we have the skills you're looking for and if you have the time, please watch our little video to get a quick idea of our life together 🤓
We try to live as sustainably as possible, follow a healthy balanced plant-based diet and take time to exercise and meditate. We keep fit by going to the gym, love a bit of yoga, cycling and running...when we can fit it in. Les loves to pretend he can surf, but is a bit of a scuba diving geek and is just getting into free diving and breathwork.
We're both considerate and mindful humans who love to make the most of our travels. We enjoy spending our time outdoors, exploring and immersing ourselves in the local culture, community and local way of life as much as we can.
We love to learn new skills and have a thirst for knowledge, but we especially love cooking, exploring, photography and amateur videography, which allows us to document our travels and share them with our friends, family and social media followers.
We are a fun and happy couple who enjoy spending time together and meeting new people, but we regularly take time for ourselves for our personal development of the mind, body, soul and our sanity and from time to time we travel solo, so you may get a request to help from only one of us.
Please feel free to send us a message if you want to get to know us more, require our help or just want to meet up and/or travel with us.
We're currently in the Algarve, Portugal and then heading to India and we can't wait to get stuck in and help wherever we go and we look forward to meeting you.
