Descrição

Hi! We're Dave (from Canada) and Ana (from Spain).

We both work in the yachting/sailing industry but are doing some traveling in the South Pacific. Our previous careers were in computers/technology, and health / child care. We met crossing the Atlantic on a sailboat in 2024. We love working together and did a workaway in St. Martin building an outdoor kitchen from 100% recycled/reclaimed materials in 2025.

Dave has lots of experience with construction (plumbing, electrical, off-grid), and techy things. Ana is also very handy with tools, plants and gardens, and is a skilled artist/painter. We're both very neat and tidy, love organizing things and giving new life to old things. We love the outdoors, nature, and sports/activities that get us out there into the elements.

When it comes to work, we're happy following instructions as well as self-led projects. We speak English and Spanish natively and French to a basic conversational level.

We enjoy cooking, especially vegetarian/ vegan dishes. We love animals, children, and adults alike! We're easy-going, friendly and always up for sharing stories, experiences, and adventures. We love learning new skills and teaching skills we have.

Quais são suas habilidades?

I've owned my living spaces for the last 13 years, keeping them clean and tidy, and making all kinds of improvements. I've done stuff like: building outbuildings and entire additions. Framing, carpentry, painting, roofing, tiling, electrical and some plumbing work. My wood-working/carpentry skills are decent, including building a large cedar sauna, and I've built an ocean-going wooden rowboat from plans. I've done a good amount of landscaping and gardening.

I enjoy cooking, and love the amazing quality of food that is available most places I've been here in Europe

I owned and operated a mountain bike tour company for several years and so am familiar with hospitality and tourism industries, and running businesses in general

I can drive! I have 20+ years of accident-free driving experience, and hold a commercial driving license (I can drive a taxi or mini-bus at home). I've driven 15,000+kms in Europe in my big fat van, so am now well used to driving here too.

I hold a current First Aid certification with lots of experience treating and managing injuries.

I have a university degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and have worked with computers for many years. Stuff like: Programming / coding, computer science, web design, IT, networking, electronics. Also digital media, photography, photo editing, graphics, videography, video editing, and some animation.

Relating to experience with kids, I was a tutor for a "gifted student" program, and have been a guest teacher for teens in: entrepreneurship, business, and public speaking. I had a job teaching bike safety to kids. I taught English for a bit while living in China for a year. And I've helped take care of my friends' 10 year old twins at their house in France, and spent a month on a previous workaway with a neuro-atypical child and had a great time.

From my own education I've taken university-level courses in topics like: Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Math, Psychology, computer science, electronics, etc. and would be comfortable teaching or tutoring these subjects as well to kids/teens/university students. I'm also currently taking a 4-course certificate in Meteorology (weather) online.

Despite (or maybe because of?) my tech background, I'm not on social media at all, and am not addicted to my phone!
