Description
Hello :-) thank you for reading our profile
We have been together for 3 happy years. We live in South Devon England & enjoy our Summers at our home close to the coast & Dartmoor. We love travelling & spending our Winters volunteering.

We make a good team & can offer a range of skills, we have renovated houses, have lots of gardening experience, Paul is skilled at construction work, carpentry & engineering, Ana has experience of hospitality, yoga retreats & hotel management. Both of us are experienced project managers.

We are both fit & energetic, keen walkers & cyclists, we love yoga & meditation, we have our own eco-project at home, & enjoy cooking, gardening and we are both very creative.

Ana spent 10 years travelling solo, & stopped for several workaway projects eg. teaching English in Java and Sulawesi, helping at a massage school in Bali, 2 renovation building projects in France, assisting on a Spanish wellness retreat, permaculture & kugelkulture gardening.
She worked 6 Winter ski seasons in France, Austria & Italy in hospitality, managing 11 self catering chalets, then 3 hotels from 30-84 beds.
Paul has an engineering background with a particular interest in eco projects.

We love this lifestyle as it allows us to live in beautiful places & meet new people :-)

I think I am a very lucky person to have had a work awayer like Ana! She took the initiative to help me in the organising this old house, full of old stuff and unnecessary objects. She cooked, made jam with apples and pears, cooked and restores some furniture! Furthermore, she is a very interesting person, knows lots of different kinds of things… read more

Woweeee what a project & Eva! Wow what a woman! The work was a pleasure, appreciated & given with a teamwork spirit, which Eva encouraged. I stayed about 2 weeks in a gorgeous, quirky old house with an ancient mill wheel next my bedroom! In a serene garden full of flowering shrubs, bright green baby frogs chirping, bird-song, butterflies & sweet,… read more

Serendipity, that's how I can describe Ana's visit at best. I wasn't her expecting at all, but when her mate called and said she is so far traveling with Ana , I simply invited her along. What a good decision that was. She is highly energetic, motivated and a brilliant organizer. Always happy and chatty, getting on with everybody and finding… read more

Thank you so much Josie for making me so welcome at your wonderful house & garden. I loved working amongst the flowers, fruits & vegetables in the beautiful, serene garden, taking time off to swim in the pool & visiting the local villages. The experience for me was greatly enhanced by learning about permaculture & kugelculture. I also enjoyed the… read more

I stayed at the beautiful place from May to September to assist Simon with writing his book. I enjoyed helping with Simon every day learning about the craft of storytelling. It gave me the impetus to start writing my own book after I left! Simon is a great teacher! This is a fantastic retreat, I enjoyed the tranquility, the dramatic surrounding… read more

The average hours I worked for this voluntary project were 10 hours per day, I was expected to work alone with no preparation time or resources, the TEFL teaching input to support my own development was off the cuff only when i insisted, the project was managed in such a way that i was often told i was teaching with 15 minutes notice only.

Ana stayed with me for around 2 weeks and for me it was not enough because she was a realy really big help for me. She had managerial skill, English teaching skill, and she was also native speaker. She helped not just with the English school but also with the English camp in Malino for 6 days. She organized all the things and made it really easy… read more
