Description
Hey, I'm Zola - a happy and kind-hearted Scottish girl! My biggest passions in life are travel and adventure.
I have been travelling for over 5 years and have had many different experiences. I worked in Vietnam as an English teacher, solo travelled around Asia and volunteered in hostels around Europe.
I am now travelling with my partner who I met whilst volunteering together in Georgia 3 years ago.
Together we have hitchhiked and wild camped around Georgia and Armenia, road tripped around Borneo and worked in the outback of Australia.
He is from Belgium and has been working in different areas of construction for 10 years. He is super talented, creative and hard working and can help with any handy task you would require. I have added two pictures of his recent volunteer work.
About me - I studied psychology at university as I love everything about people. I have spent more than 1 year of my life volunteering on workaway.
My volunteering experiences range from hostel work, cleaning, reception work, kitchen help to teaching English, social work, gardening and painting doors!
As a couple I think we can bring a lot with our mixture of skills and experience. We both learn really quickly and are super hard workers. We are also both super positive and easy going people to be around.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please check out my reviews from previous hosts.
Hopefully we can meet soon!
Zola & Jeroen :)
