Description
Hello,
We are Sarah and Felipe (from Germany and Mexico).
We met in Chiapas, Mexico, while Sarah was doing Workaway at a Hostel.
Felipe was working at a vegetarian restaurant with a roof garden and alternative products store.
Since then we have been travelling around. We shared experiences with wonderful people and learned about permaculture, hospitality, cooking, baking, house-sitting and much more.
Sarah is an easy going and flexible person. She loves traveling, meeting people, exchanging knowledge and experience. She is empathic and a good listener.
Felipe is a very dedicated person. No matter if it's cooking time or harvesting season, he will do his best to succeed in the task. He loves to read and get knowledge about indigenous cultures, specially those who lives in his country. He studied them in Mexico, Latin America and Europe as well.
We both have been investing our time in farm lifestyle. We really like to feel the field, see plants growing, take care of domestic or farm animals and to be in touch with nature.
Work with children is other thing we really enjoy. We have been sharing time with kids in our countries and outside of them too. Sarah teaches English and German wherever she can. Felipe have been involved in educational projects and summer camps for a while.
At the same time, we are very comfortable in hospitality work. We like to get involved in restaurants, hostels, hotels, etc.
Every place where we can help people and make them happy is a good place to be.
We loved to do hiking, explore the nature, take a look at traditional dances, music, food and clothes.
We really enjoy to see the world and to learn new things everyday, from the history of Rumania to the medicinal herbs used in Paraguay.
We believe that every place have magic, we must just open the heart to see it.
Hope we can meet each other soon and share time, stories and knowledge.
