Description

Hello, we are Catriona and Tim, nice to meet you! We are a couple in our mid-twenties and are currently travelling around in our semi-converted van seeking adventures as we go. Through Workaway we hope to learn new skills, meet new friends, and experience life is as many ways as we can find.

Catriona’s background is in art and all things creative! However, she had spent years in an office job doing finance administration, with some customer service prior to this, and wanted to leave the rat race in search of adventures and to pursue creative endeavours. She loves to cook healthy meals with new ingredients and spends her spare time exploring all things creative – be it drawing, crafting or photography. She is also learning French and some language immersion would be great!

Tim’s background is in IT, customer service & video/photography work. Tim’s working background is similarly in hospitality and office jobs. He shares a passion for creativity and wants a life full of adventure and fun experiences. Tim enjoys recording his travels and explorations – you’ll never see him without something to capture the moment whether it’s a drone, GoPro, or just a phone.

We both decided to pack in our mundane jobs and start converting a van with the intention of travelling. We are both creatives and have a passion for unconventional living and alternative approaches to seeing the world. We grew up in Devon, met eight years ago and spend a lot of our time together outdoors and love being in nature as well as exploring cities.

For the first few months of our van life adventure, we were helping at Tim’s mum house in Italy which is being renovated. We helped them from painting and decorating to knocking down walls. It’s fair to say we both love animals, having grown up with them and especially as we spent this first few months of this year helping to look after 3 dogs, 4 cats and a bunny! One day we hope to host Workawayers ourselves and the dream would be to have a property which we could renovate.

The Workaway experiences that we are looking for are varied – we would love to look after animals; help renovate properties; art projects; gardening; work in hospitality and hosting – the list goes on. We would love to go to Workaway in the mountains, near the beach or in the countryside. Basically, we want to explore the world and whatever cultures and lifestyles we come across to experience as much life as this little planet has to offer.
