Descrição

We are a “young” middle-aged couple,😜

Gavin, 44, from Wales
Inese, 40ish 🤫 from  Latvia

We are fun, easy-going and motivated people who enjoy a challenge. We consider ourselves to be very capable and dependable, and we like to see projects through to the end.

We are slow travellers and prefer to spend longer in special places rather than trying to see everything and constantly being on the road. We also find it very rewarding to help with some eco projects while travelling

We have just re-joined the Workaway community after five years away. Since then we have, however, still been volunteering directly with Projects in Malaysia, Thailand and, currently, Nicaragua.

(Please note that some of the older reviews on here talk about myself Gavin and my ex partner. Over time these will be replaced with new reviews that Inese and I are hoping to receive)
