We are a down to earth travelling duo, who are exploring Australia through work and travel. We hope to meet many other travelers and people who are interested in different cultures and that have a passion for travelling and adventure.

(About Birgit)
I come from a lovely village in the middle of beautiful Estonian nature. Nature is a really big part of me as I grew up in the countryside and spend alot of time in the nature. I like taking care of animals, picking fruits and berries and take care of the garden. I'm really into music - I sing, dance, play piano, guitar, drums etc. My second passion is reading - everything and everywhere. I like Russian novels, sci-fi and books about history. I'm really into theater, too. One of my professions is drama-teacher.
I'm open minded and I enjoy conversations of all sorts of topics - just name one.
Previously I've worked as a teacher and a youth worker. I do camps, supervisions and mentoring work for youth workers and teachers.
Overall I'm just nice and friendly. And calm, too :) Typical Estonian.

(About Zeta)
I come from a small country town in South Australia on the coast. Growing up i spent most of my spare time with my friends at the beach and running through the bush. I have strong connection to ocean, its a place i go that makes me happy, calm and at peace.

I like to do Aboriginal Australian dot art, travel, read, sketch, swimming, talking and food. I like all things alternative, weird, or what society considers to be outcast. I enjoy open mindedness, honesty, kindness, randomness, and compassion.

I have worked in a library in my hometown for nearly three years then one year as student support work at a high school. Later I went travelling and have taken opportunities such as waitress in a tiny organic cafe in Estonia and teaching English once a week to 5 Estonian children. I was also pleased to be able to run a few workshops at an Estonia art school to teach students Aboriginal Dot Art.

All in all, I am who i am, things are always changing and i am always gaining new experience in this thing we call life.
