Description
Hello,
My partner, Ellenor, and I have reached a point in our lives where we're ready to start extending our family. But before we do, we're excited to go on one last adventure! We've decided to pack up our lives for a year and work/travel in Europe while also visiting family who we don't get to see very often (Ellenor has family in Bulgaria and Greece and I have some in Belfast and London).
We think Workaway is a great way for us to do these things while also meeting new interesting people. We're both animal and nature lovers and don't mind getting our hands dirty for rewarding work.
We only have loose plans at the moment, but we think we'll be in Bulgaria and eastern Europe from July to September, and Belfast and the UK for the rest of 2027.
We can't wait to share our journey with you.
Cheers,
Cal -

More details about your skills
Regarding our occupations, I work in construction as a surveyor. This industry demands long hours and hard labour involving various power tools. Ellenor is a social worker specialising in mental health counselling and men's behaviour change programs.
Our main skills outside of our professions involve animal care, garden care, cooking, house renovations and sailing.
Animal Care: I grew up with 2 Jack Russells and Ellenor grew up with several cats and a Pomeranian. For many years, we've also regularly done house/dog/cat sitting jobs for friends and family.
Garden Care: Our backyard at home has a big garden to tend to. We have many different types of fruit trees and palm trees that need to be maintained regularly.
Cooking: We often cook for ourselves. Our go-to meals are spaghetti bolognese, vegetarian stir fry, salmon sushi rolls, beef fajitas, pearl couscous salad and pumpkin soup. Ellenor can cook many traditional Greek and Bulgarian dishes
House Renovations: We've just spent the past year rebuilding Ellenor's childhood home. In this time we've learnt many skills in carpentry, insulation, plastering, flooring and painting.
Boat: Ellenor also has 4 years of dinghy and keel boat sailing experience, learning at our local yacht clubs and competing in casual competitions/races. -
