  • Description

    Hi, my name is Anya.
    I love nature, exploring new places, animals, children and anything creative. I am a kind, funny and reliable person who loves having a book to hand. I have recently started my travels by exploring Europe for three months and then spending the last year in New Zealand with my wonderful boyfriend! I have thoroughly enjoyed all my new experiences, places I've visited and yummy food I have eaten.

    I have lots of varied work experiences such as:
    - being a qualified teacher, who has two years experience working with children in the UK, as well as teaching adults English for three months in New Zealand.
    - I have worked at an educational camp for 1.5 years with children from 3-16, some also with SEN additional needs.
    - I have over ten years experience in hospitality doing everything from waitressing and barista work to supervisor and managerial roles.
    - Experience with general cleaning.
    - I am also a published romance author who has lots of experience with writing, editing, marketing, content creation and social media.

    Some of my favourite things include learning new skills, teaching, working and looking after children, exploring new places, cooking/baking and reading a good book. I am able to adapt to any new adventure or learning and am always willing to give something new a try! I would also love to learn some gardening skills.


    Hi,
    My name is Sebastian, I'm the boyfriend!
    I love nature, animals and anything that heals the soul. I'm open minded, hardworking and try to be as positive as possible. I have been very fortunate to travel my whole life, learning new cultures and trying new foods has always been really important to me. Over the years I have gained knowledge and experience in many things, examples of this are;

    - I have worked in the construction industry for over half a decade. I was a landscape gardener, I've built decking, I've also renovated two properties. Now I specialise in sash window restorations where i have rebuilt & restored rotten windows and painted them to a finish. I have recently just built a small house from the ground up ( In New Zealand ). This included; the framing of the house, the installation of insulation & gib/ plaster board, cladding the exterior in cedar and finally building a deck for this property. I have my own tools with me too.

    - I also have extensive experience in the hospitality industry. I progressed from a waiter, to mixologist & barista to finally a restaurant manager.

    My personal hobbies and skills include;
    - I love actions sports and board sports. I have skied and snowboarded my whole life. I also skateboarded for 6 years ( I really want to learn to surf too ).
    - I now play golf my handicap is around 10!
    - I love nature, learning and anything outdoors.

    We are currently in the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
