Hey there!

We are Mitch (28M) & Julia (25F), two avid travelers with a lust for life and all things adventure & travel! After spending the last two years together in the UK, we have set off for a year of traveling through South and Central America before restarting our life together in New Zealand in 2027.

We met on a New Years Eve bar crawl in Prague in 2022, while both travelling independently and have not stopped since. This past summer, 2025 we spent 5 months apart working seasonal jobs. Julia has an extensive hospitality and tourism background and spent the summer managing a remote mountain lodge in the Northern Sierras of California. Mitch stepped away from his engineering career to develop his kitchen skills in a coastal seafood restaurant in Cornwall, England. As a couple there is very little we will not try at least once. We love being able to share new experiences with each other and new friends from all around the world!

We find happiness in being outdoors, experiencing new cultures, staying active, & making memories that will last a lifetime, even if they are stressful or uncomfortable in the moment. Julia is looking to improve on her foundational Spanish skills, and Mitch is following suit, learning more and more each day that we spend in Latin America. a

We are so excited to participate in various work away opportunities, willing to get our hands dirty, spend as much time as we can in nature and hopefully make your lives a bit easier. Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
