Description
Hello,
We are Tom (USA) and Sol (Argentina). Sol has just finished her studies of art in Spain, Poland and Brazil, and Tom is a musician and writer who currently works as a certified English teacher.
We are very excited to come to Ecuador!
While traveling we plan to make music, art and stories dedicated to helping the earth and addressing the disconnect of human civilization with our environment.
We have worked on organic farms and gardens, in hostels, and doing many other jobs for hosts in the past. Tom worked on a landscape gardening crew in the United States and has experience building stone walls (photo in profile).
Sol has painted many murals for hosts in the past, in Europe, South America, and the United States. You can see examples of her work in our profile, and you can find her other art here:

You can also find our original music here:

An important note: we are strict vegans. However, it does not bother us if other people are preparing and eating animal products.
We are looking forward to meeting you!

We had a great two weeks at Prem's organic farming community near Banda. Prem is very knowledgeable about many topics, and we had some great conversations around the fire.

This is one of the most unique WorkAway experiences we've had. Drinking from natural water sources, bathing in the stream, walking through the nearby forest -- I think we have never felt more connected to nature, and we were sad to leave after three weeks.

Yogesh is one of the greatest people we have met on our travels. Always laughing, always smiling. He is full of knowledge about nature, birds, agriculture. Anyone interested in traditional Indian organic farming will learn a ton from him, and have a great time as well. We hope our paths cross again soon!

Thomas came here not so much as a workawayer, but as a musician looking for a place to put up his tent while doing the music seminars. That was fine with me. He added a lot of good mood!
