What else ...

Since departing the UK in September 2023 we’ve been on a unique journey, visiting some spectacular places!

Our first stop was the Hawaiian Islands, where we worked aboard a Catamaran. We sailed between the different Islands stopping off to hike Volcanoes, snorkel lush reefs and just enjoy the rich culture of the islands.

We then explored some of the US and decided to join a boat sailing for the Bahamas!

We soon found ourselves in the Dominican Republic, where we began a beautiful Workaway experience, volunteering at a school teaching English and sports to the most amazing kids !

After 2 months of making memories in the Dominican Republic we said goodbye and joined a family boat sailing towards the Panama Canal! We transited the Canal departing the Atlantic Ocean and entering the Pacific.

Since entering the Pacific we have cruised along the pacific coastline of Central America exploring the remote islands and lush jungle beaches of Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua!

We now find ourselves in Mexico, a place where we would like to remain for some time, to fully experience the culture and scenery. We hope to join your Workaway and continue this journey of self growth and happiness !



*We also have experience with Workaway and volunteering in Europe and Morocco :)
