Hi, we are David and Olivia!
We are both 27, and live in Cambridge UK. We are taking a year sabbatical from our jobs as an engineer and scientist to travel to NZ, and then take a long journey home - wherever it takes us!
We enjoy being active and social, doing new things and eating good food. We are both keen to get authentic experiences when we travel, and are happy to help our hosts out with jobs along the way.

We are both fit and active and would be happy to try pretty much anything outdoors, things we have done before include foraging, gardening, painting, general maintenance.
We both have good education if that is useful to you! David is a mechanical engineer and Olivia is a biomedical scientist.
David is very practical and handy, good for DIY, fixing/making things and up-cycling, a bit of a jack of all trades.
Olivia is creative and organised, good for getting things done. She is skilled in crochet making clothes and homeware - check out her instagram @yarntosomething.
At home both of us pitch in and cook a variety of tasty food (Olivia is a vegetarian), we enjoy making thai curries, falafel, and mexican to name a few. We also bake great bread and brownies :).
Olivia was brought up with cats and dogs at home, both of us would be happy to take care of/walk pets.
