Description

Hey! We're Astrid and Ollie and we are a couple from Melbourne, Australia. We're fed up with the rat race and are taking some time away from our careers to explore the world, meet new people, learn new skills and find a little bit more peace which is harder to find in the hustle and bustle of large city.

Astrid is creative, curious and eager to make the most of life through nature and new experiences. She is a newly qualified yoga instructor, loves all forms of art, photography and has previously been an au pair in the UK.

Ollie is energetic, diligent and has a caring nature. He loves being active, animals and spending time in the water and going on hikes. Ollie loves all forms of music and is also loves to pride himself as a great chef.

We are eager to apply our life experiences as well as learn new things wherever we find ourselves. We are respectful guests and conscious of respecting the homes of the people who host us. Whether it's looking after daily house chores, gardening or looking after pets (or even something beyond our wheelhouse), we are so eager to apply ourselves in a new environment.
