Descrição

CURRENTLY IN LOULE, ALGARVE. (Oct 2024)

HI EVERYBODY!
WE ARE LUIS AND SUSAN. A YOUNG TRAVELLER COUPLE IN A GAP YEAR.

It's a pleasure to introduce ourselves. We've been together for 3 years.

Luis (23), from Portugal, grew up helping my family, originally from the island of Madeira, Portugal, with farm work, which I did with great passion. Through these experiences, I learned a lot about nature. Later, I decided to embark myself on a life of adventure to one of the most unexplored and virgin places in the world: Patagonia, "the end of the world". For the last 5 years, I have been working in the tourism sector as a tour guide and travel consultant for a prestigious local agency. I also worked as a bartender, which awakened a passion for hospitality and languages. This passion led me to fall in love with the idea of volunteering in search of amazing experiences, exploring the world and expanding my knowledge and personal growth.

Susan (20), Venezuelan, worked for a year in customer service after finishing high school. I then decided to travel with the aim of connecting with new people and cultures, learning languages and adventuring around the world, exploring and gaining experiences in a variety of new and different things that will be of great value to my personal life.

We are trustworthy, totally responsible, proactive, sociable, hardworkers and people who acquire new skills and knowledge very easily. Also open-minded and calm people very capable of going with the flow. We like to keep organised our place.

We love travelling, share experiences and cultures to the world.

Can't wait to spend such a brilliant time with everyone.

IMPORTANT FOR US: We love to be reasonable and fair, so for us Workaway is a give and take exchange, not a take advantage of either side.

Eager to travel as much as we can!
