Based in Germany, planning time in Puerto Rico. Interested in volunteering, community projects, nature, cultural exchange and meeting locals. Both qualified professionals in the social care sector.

Description

Hello! We are a German couple planning to spend some time in Puerto Rico. We have been together for 6 years and met during our social gap year. The trip to Puerto Rico in September will be our first Workaway experience. Ida is currently finishing her degree, after that we want to use some time to expand our horizon. Both of us currently work in the social sector and enjoy working with people, helping others and being part of a community.

We don't have much experience farming or working on sustainable living, but we do know working long hours and physical labor. Our last 6 summers were spent organizing supported holidays for people with disabilities, including transforming our accommodation by building structures for it, decorating and planning activities.

Puerto Rico has a special meaning to us because my (Mia's) abuelo is from the island, so this journey is also a chance to reconnect with family roots and learn more about the culture and everyday life.
We are friendly, reliable and always willing to lend a hand, whether it's helping with projects, daily tasks or community activities. We are looking for a meaningful experience, not just a place to stay, and we are excited to learn, contribute and discover the island. It would mean a lot to us to give back to my abuelo's homeland.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
We started learning spanish in our free time and in university, but haven't had the time to really focus on it. We would love to learn some more before and during our stay in Puerto Rico! We are patient learners & teachers, though we don't have experience teaching a language. We 100% would be willing to try though!
