  • Description

    We're an adventurous couple with backgrounds in the arts, music and performance, comedy and circus as well as therapy. We have a strong sense of social justice and want to use our skills while exploring different countries and cultures to feel more connected to the places we are in. Between us we have qualifications and work experience in art therapy and counselling and teaching and have played and sung in bands and worked professionally as a comedy music and circus performer and as a visual artist/potter. Rachel enjoys iyengar yoga, pottery and wild swimming. Mike enjoys cricket, football and walking. We both enjoy cooking vegetarian food.
