Description
Two Mexicans, from Guanajuato (central Mexico) traveling around Baja California on our bicycles, looking to get true local experiences and to contribute to make this planet a better place.
We both have wide previous experience as volunteers in all kind of projects, working abroad, and sharing with different cultures. We are both bilingual, and back home our place is a hostel in progress, and have our own Workaway project to host volunteers from all around the world. You can check our project in the following link

Francisco ~ Call me Kiko! Passionate chef, adventurous traveler and endless entrepreneur. Owner of a food truck and a Mercadito back in Guanajuato. Specially interested in building, specially learning about permaculture methods.
Karen~ In the past years got experience working in farms in South America and Africa, farming in New Zealand and would love to learn and work more in gardens.
We are not afraid of getting our hands dirty, working under the sun or any hard job - we actually consider it as our workout ;)
We used to have individual Workaway accounts, but now they expired, and we are working and traveling together, so we created this new account.
Learning is our passion! That's why we travel and always look for different experiences.

Both of us are active sport people, so we consider ourselves fit and we enjoy a lot outdoor activities. We are not kids anymore, so also count on our commitment, responsibility and punctuality in any project.
We have experience as volunteers in gardening, farming, animal care, building, cleaning and hospitality. We learn fast and love being active.
Since we have traveled for a very long time we adapt easily to any situation ;)

What else ...
We really like outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping, riding our bicycles. We have our own tent and camping gear with us, so we could even live in here if the weather is adequate.
Cooking and music is also part of our hobbies. We enjoy meeting new people and learning about the true local life of the place we are visiting.
