  • Description

    A shared love for travel, exploring, being connected to nature and learning about different cultures. Maddie has recently completed a Masters degree in Environmental Psychology, and is wanting to continue developing skills and knowledge about the interactions between people and the environment. Ben is a BEng, MSc Civil Engineer, and after 7 years with his company is having a well-deserved career break, with the aim to incorporate more sustainable practices within his profession. Together, we want to spend some time travelling whilst nurturing our interests, collecting skills and knowledge to take away and put towards our future life.
