Michael - I am a lecturer in Public Health Nutrition and statistics at King's College London, and an experienced research scientist with good knowledge of excel and other software. I wrote a book on statistics for undergraduates and love teaching. I am mad about cycling, rode from Land's End to John O'Groats (the length of Britain), and blogged the whole journey. I am a good handyman with basic woodworking skills. In addition to cycling I enjoy music, reading, cooking, gardening, travel and walking the dog.
Stephanie - I am a lawyer, working in local government, in contracts / procurement law (not as boring as it sounds. Well, I think so). I want to do more creative work - particularly sewing, in which I have reasonably good skills - and broaden my horizons. I like walking, reading, cooking, gardening, and playing table tennis (which I've taken up again after 40 years' break).Age
65 & 75
What else ...
We're a married couple aged 74 and 64, still working and active and physically fit but we want to spread our wings (you can do that at our ages!). So doing a 'workaway' period sounds a really exciting way of finding out about other countries and getting to know people, wider than simply being a tourist and travelling - though we are intending to do that too. We would like to put our existing skills and knowledge to use in a new setting, but also happy to learn new things and contribute wherever we can be useful.
