Description

Hallo, hello, hola, howzit? ;)

Once upon a time…we promised to pack our stuff and just go - looking for whatever is hidden behind the horizon.
Now, after spending 1.5 years back home, we are doing it for the second time - traveling and volunteering our way around this beautiful world.

Hiring someone (especially a couple) you have never met before must be quite tough. Offering them to live, hang out and eat with you every day makes it indeed ridiculous... It's gotta be something between trust, gut feeling and insticts that you have to rely on - making workaway such an interesting and refreshing platform to bring people together.

In order to make your decision easier, we'd like to tell you some general things about us, our dreams and purposes, our background and skill set (see description below and pictures).
We are Katy and Archie from Germany. Both of Russian descent, living in Germany for the better part of our lives.
We are now seeking inspiring people and experiences while doing some meaningful work along the way.
We love trying new things and are not afraid to put in manual labor ("getting the hands dirty").
We'd be happy to help and contribute in any way we can, share our experiences and in the process hopefully extend our skill set and perspective (learning from you).
We like to surround ourselves with good energy and people in a positive environment.
We are nature enthusiast and enjoy all different kinds of sports, generally relishing to be outdoors.
Well....we really hope to have the opportunity to meet you soon!
