Yegor and Stacy Lyashenko wanted to travel and truly experience the world, so they quickly made it a reality by saving money and travel volunteering where they could during their travels.

They just celebrated one year of full time travel (across Europe), and their volunteering and workaway opportunities have allowed them, and their budget, to extend their travels into Asia now.

Yegor and Stacy shared their amazing adventure with me, and they were so sweet and genuine as a couple. You'll fall in love with them too. And you'll get more details on why travel volunteering through Workaway can be so powerful to experience a destination.
