Description
Hi! We are Dan and Emma, a couple from the west coast of Australia. We are currently on a long term trip to wherever it takes us throughout South America. We are both keen to do something a bit different from the usual tourist trail and would like to meet more locals along the way, workaway is a great way to do that. We are learning spanish and are interested in immersing ourselves in the language, but are happy to help with English too. We also enjoy cooking and would love to learn more about cooking in other cultures. We are both keen to learn new skills and help wherever possible. We make plans as we go, so we are very flexible.
If you think you might be interested in hosting us, we would love to hear from you!Interests

What else ...
Daniel and I have been together for 13 years going strong and we took a big leap in 2017 and went on a year long trip all over Asia and Europe. It was the best thing we have ever done, so much so that we did another year long trip in 2019 before covid put an end to it. Our time away included 8 workaways and each one was as an amazing experience as the next. Our past workaways include a farmstay, airbnb renovations, pet and house sitting, animal rescue and cooking and taking care of guests at a river lodge. We are excited to add more to the list throughout South America.
We love snorkelling and scuba diving and have both completed our advanced open water certifications in the Philippines.
We also enjoy cooking and would love to learn more about cooking in other cultures. Dan spends a bit of time out in the garden at home and is keen to learn more about self sustainable farming.
We have been self teaching/learning Spanish for a few years now and can't wait to immerse ourselves in Latin America and hopefully become fluent.
