Description
We have both recently quit our jobs after almost 5 years of working in childcare to travel long term. These jobs have enabled us to have a good understanding of others needs and emotions, basic knowledge of housekeeping tasks, good childcare/education skills and communication. Outside of our work we’re very adventurous and eager to learn new things. We love to explore and experience, especially if we get to be in nature. Alex has a keen love of football and sport and has a reasonable knowledge of computing. Beth has a lot of arty and creative hobbies and spends a lot of time reading. We both love to hike, spend time with animals, climb, swim, cook, play games and have a laugh!
Living in the countryside in rural England has given us an appreciation for a slower, more rural life. Growing up around nature and lots of farms has inspired plenty of interest in it.
Our travel has been motivated by a want to see the world outside of our little corner of it. We want to experience new cultures and environments and challenge ourselves by being outside of our comfort zones. As we have been travelling, we have been really wanting to give back to local communities and fully immerse ourselves in local lives (as much as we can!). Our environmental impact and sustainability is something we really notice and we hope to work on this by travelling slowly and intentionally . We are excited to exchange knowledge and have the opportunity to meet everyone! -
