Beschreibung
Hello! 👋🏼
We are Michelle and Andrew, a couple from Scotland who have been together nearly five years and are travelling 🏴
Having graduated in Psychology (Michelle) and International Marketing (Andrew) we have spent time travelling through New Zealand and the East Coast of Australia, and hope to use Workaway as a way to connect with people, learn new skills and experience everyday life in new places.
We both love people, good food and the outdoors, open water swimming (yes - it is FREEZING in the sea in Scotland!!!), nature, the sky, hiking and animals (we have two family dogs back home). For the past 3 years we have been social media free — we prefer real conversations and getting involved with what’s in front of us, appreciating it and making special memories. We would love to live a life which is slow and rewarding without all of the pressures of media and busy society.
What we bring (Besides our backpacks 🧳, curiosity and a habit of accidentally bringing good old Scottish weather with us☔️):
* We work well as a team
* Reliable, organised, flexible and adaptable
* Creative
* Used to long hours on our feet having worked in Military show events for four years (10hours per day 6 days a week)
* Strong organisation, communication and people skills
* Experience working with children (including special needs) - Michelle as a teaching assistant and Andrew as a sports coach - also done plenty of years experience with childcare
* Experience with pet care and dog walking, as well as house sitting
* Love to volunteer - helped with fundraisers, charity work and conservation work
* We love cooking and would love to share and exchange some recipes
* We are trustworthy, respectful of others’ space, sociable when it suits and independent when needed.
We are hardworking, easy-going, positive, and excited by the chance to gain new skills, meet people and have experiences outside our comfort zone - learning through doing is a big reason we started to travel😊
