Descripción
Hi! We are Dan and Emma, a couple from the west coast of Australia. We are currently on a long term trip to wherever it takes us throughout South America. We are both keen to do something a bit different from the usual tourist trail and would like to meet more locals along the way, workaway is a great way to do that. We are learning spanish and are interested in immersing ourselves in the language, but are happy to help with English too. We also enjoy cooking and would love to learn more about cooking in other cultures. We are both keen to learn new skills and help wherever possible. We make plans as we go, so we are very flexible.
If you think you might be interested in hosting us, we would love to hear from you!

Algo más...
Daniel and I have been together for 13 years going strong and we took a big leap in 2017 and went on a year long trip all over Asia and Europe. It was the best thing we have ever done, so much so that we did another year long trip in 2019 before covid put an end to it. Our time away included 8 workaways and each one was as an amazing experience as the next. Our past workaways include a farmstay, airbnb renovations, pet and house sitting, animal rescue and cooking and taking care of guests at a river lodge. We are excited to add more to the list throughout South America.
We love snorkelling and scuba diving and have both completed our advanced open water certifications in the Philippines.
We also enjoy cooking and would love to learn more about cooking in other cultures. Dan spends a bit of time out in the garden at home and is keen to learn more about self sustainable farming.
We have been self teaching/learning Spanish for a few years now and can't wait to immerse ourselves in Latin America and hopefully become fluent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, so much that we extended for an extra week. The work was fun, varied and fair, and the stay was comfortable, safe and like a second home. The other interns were so much fun to pass the time with, and Joshua arranged some great local experiences for us too. The region is among the most beautiful in Ecuador and… read more

Definitely 'our kind of people' - considerate of both project and personal needs, friendly, collaborative and high-quality skills that they take seriously. We feel very lucky to have had Dan and Emma here; Emma painted 2 beautiful murals and Dan used his bricklaying skills with building a wall. Snap them up if they apply for your project, you… read more

Rafa and Kim are awesome people and we had a great time with them in Mexico City. Such a great time that we stayed 2 months instead of one. The work was relaxed and we loved our morning walks with Mona whos just such a beautiful and friendly dog. We always looked forward to going to the Sunday markets for tacos with Rafa and had a great time… read more

The Lodge is fantastic and we had such a great time doing workaway here! The setting is just stunning, full of animals and birds and just the perfect place to relax and destress. Kirk & Johanna are awesome hosts, super friendly and a blast to hang out with if you get the chance. It was also a pleasure to meet Daniela, she is such an intelligent… read more

Dan & Emma were our very first workaday helpers and they could not have arrived at a better time!
They worked incredibly hard with us during the last few weeks leading up to us opening our B&B, with still so many building, decorating and finishing touches to do in such a short time. They both offered their help willingly for long hours and we… read more reciprocated with offering a stay in our about-to-be-opened high end B&B rooms, as well as cooking Asian influenced home cooked meals and drinks.
They both have a wide range of very useful skills, knowledge and expertise, which they freely share. They are lovely people to work and live with and we greatly enjoyed sharing our home with them, cooking and eating/drinking together and also working very hard in the day time. They are polite, respectful and responsible people who work, contributing their best efforts, as if the work is their own project. Nothing was too much to ask of them and they really made a huge difference to our project at this most critical stage.
They are wonderful company and we were happy to take them out on a few ocassions, showing them around our local area and they were very appreciative of all our efforts to make them feel at home.
Dan was a life saver with his brilliant building and DIY skills and Emma also pitched in and did an amazing job with a wide range of varied decorating and renovation tasks, putting the finishing touches to so many of our rooms, employing her artistic skills and great eye for detail in everything she did. Emma also taught Kyunghee how to fillet fish and Dan ensured that a long list of 'to dos' became a much shorter (and less daunting) list.
It was great to get to know them in such a short time, to hear of their travels and life 'down under', as well as sharing good food, drink and many good times together, despite the high pressure workload we were all under at that time.
It was lovely to have them with us on our opening night, which was made possible, successful and less-stressed with their contributions and great spirit. Thankfully, we managed to arrange that they had some relaxed time at the end of their stay and this enabled them to rest and plan the next stage of their year-long trip in comfort. We hope our paths may cross again.
We are forever in their debt and cannot recommend them highly enough to all other workaday hosts.

Emma and Daniel were incredibly helpful in every way. Both were straightforward, did the work with no fuss or bother, helped me re-organise our animal housing and built an entire aviary while they were here in just two weeks. they were fun and kind to be around. They cooked and cleaned and were generally excellent. I would 100% recommend them.… read more

The way you made pasta, the look in your eyes when we came to arctic circle and the smell in the air during swiss cheese fondue. We were glad to have you guys and it has been a fantastic time with you. Everytime again and we really hope to see you back here in the arctic winter for a northern light hunt with the snow-scooter.

Em and Dan were really excellent volunteers. They participated whole-heartedly in all activities here - even things that they had never tried before such as yoga. They had a genuine desire to learn all we could teach them and have made a visible contribution to the infrastructure here in 2017.
We much enjoyed their good humour and were grateful… read more

The time we spent with Nic & Mike was fantastic! They are great hosts, easy to hang out with, and had great fun living and working on their property. We loved spending time with all the farm animals, and Bunbury and the cats too. We learned so many useful things like making bread and pasta. The place has so much potential, we would love to come… read more
