Descrição

Hey, we are Billy (27) and Sam (24), two brothers from the UK. Billy is a biomedical lab technician at the University of Oxford with a passion for palaeontology (he's even dug up a few dinosaurs!). Sam is a manufacturer and driver for our small family business, alongside making short films and organising local film festivals. We are from a village in West Yorkshire on the edge of the Peak District National Park, so have grown up with an appreciation of nature and love hiking and being outside in general. Billy is vegetarian and Sam is vegan, which was brought on by an increasing awareness of environmentalism in our early 20s/late teens, making us keen to learn about living off-grid. We're practical people who are experienced with hand tools, happy with physical work, and aren't afraid to get our hands dirty!

This September we are doing a road trip through France and Spain and wanted to do a Workaway for a week or so to explore the area around Barcelona. Billy did Workaways in New Zealand during his year abroad at university and they were a highlight of the year, mostly because of the amazing people he met along the way, so we're sure we will have a great experience meeting new people and learning about different ways of life! We’ll be travelling in a small camper van with a roof tent, so we're flexible with accommodation if that's helpful. We're friendly, reliable and enthusiastic, and we'd love the opportunity to be part of your project!

Quais são suas habilidades?

We are both experienced with hand tools and have done lots of DIY, e.g., putting up shelves, painting, basic carpentry etc. Our parents grow fruit and vegetables and we've always helped, so we're happy weeding, watering, planting and harvesting. We have always had family pets (a dog and rabbits) and Billy now lives with a cat, so we are comfortable feeding, cleaning and playing with animals. We're both fit and enjoy manual work. Billy even made some curtains at a previous Workaway!

Algo mais...

As mentioned, we love spending time in nature, so we'd be grateful for recommendations for local hikes or spots to explore. We're both big fans of books and films across all kinds of genres, so we'd love to hear about your favourite Spanish films, books or music. We're also fascinated by history and enjoy learning about the culture of the places we visit. Mostly, we're looking forward to meeting new people and experiencing everyday life somewhere new. We always enjoy a good conversation and are keen to get involved in whatever's going on!
