Description

We are experienced Workawayers who spent 7 years living and teaching English in China, 6 months travelling and volunteering in Latin America and 4 years working in the sustainability sector Bristol, UK. We’d love to help with any eco projects and meet people who share the same care for the planet and people. At age 34 we hope that between us we have some experiences that we could use to help you:
- Masters degrees in Sustainability & Adaptation
- Work experience in sustainable energy and low energy buildings
- Work experience in policy on organic and sustainable food
- Permaculture Design Certificate
- Experience of transforming our own garden to grow 50 kinds of food and make a habitat for nature
- Experience volunteering on permaculture, self sufficiency, rooftop farming, reforestation and conservation projects in Latin America, Hong Kong and the UK
- Yoga teaching

We enjoy cultural exchanges with people from all over the world! Although we also like to have some time to ourselves too. We've just sold our house in Bristol and plan to start a new life in East Asia! So when we're not working we need an internet connection and a bit of spare time to apply for jobs there :-)

We’re really looking forward to our next Workaway stay, meeting you, sharing stories and experiences and helping with your project :-)
