Description

Hi! We are Keegan and Isabella. We have both quit our jobs at home in New Zealand and are travelling to experience new countries and cultures. We enjoy travel that allows us to get to know locals who are keen to share their lifestyles and experiences with us. We are both relaxed and easy going, but hardworking people, and are excited for the new experiences we will find and people we will meet through workaway.

Happiness to us is exploring the outdoors and learning about the culture and arts of wherever we may be. Keegan's true happy place is on a motorbike or mountain bike in the wilderness. Bella loves to paint, be active, enjoys cooking and discovering new foods and as an architectural designer by trade is passionate about art and architecture. She has also recently taken up surfing as she loves to spend time in the ocean.

We are open to any workaway experiences and are keen to experience and learn new things.

Bella:

I am most interested in creative, construction, cooking and garden related projects/work, and I would love to learn more about permaculture. But I am also keen to have a go at any new experiences and other types of work. For the last few years I have been working as an Architectural Designer at an architecture firm after completing my studies (Master of Architecture) and am interested in the crossovers between well-being, sustainability and design.
