Workaway in Ecuador
Our very first Workaway voluntary work experience we spend at Casa Anna in Puerto Cayo, Ecuador. We needed to stay in one place for a few weeks time after 1.5 year of traveling so we stayed here for seven weeks. Our hosts Steve and Anna are from Canada. They have a nice house on the beach and some guesthouses for paying guests and volunteers. Anna arranges most things around the property and has a lot of great stories. Steve likes to cook, especially meat and sweet cakes. We’ve had the pleasure of enjoying his talent a few times!

Our global wish list can be found here but generally: we will see where we’ll end up… In addition,…

Buying a car in Australia
Spending a lot of your dineros abroad isn’t fun. For us, the decision between buying or hiring a car for our roadtrip through Australia was easy. Hiring a car is very expensive in Australia, especially in high season. If you go to Australia for a longer period like 3 months or more, the depreciation of the car is often less than the rent including insurance. If you can make a good deal on your purchase and resell, it doesn’t have to cost you much, or nothing at all if you’re lucky. Preparation Buying a car or a campervan in Australia can be a time consuming task in the first weeks of your stay. It took us two weeks before we found and could pick up the car we wanted. It’s also very important to prepare yourself thoroughly beforehand. Think about…
