We are currently

Description

Hiya, we are Dexter & Mel. I'm a 35 year-old Designer from London and my partner Mel is a 34 year-old Yoga teacher from Glasgow. We are travelling Australia on a Working Holiday visa, hoping to see as much of it as possible over the next year or so

We are both hardworking individuals who don't shy away from a tough challenge. We're also proactive problem solvers, with a keen interest in learning new skills. We're sociable and make an effort to integrate into a household, but are also understanding and respectful of peoples' space, having lived in various shared accommodation throughout our lives.

We love exploring new places and getting outdoors, especially hiking. Dexter loves swimming and playing board games, while Mel loves Yoga and playing guitar.

Let us know if you have any questions, we're more than happy to jump onto a call / Facetime if you'd like to get to know us more.

More details about your skills

Dexter: I am always happy to help in and around the house in any way possible, whether that be cleaning, cooking, gardening, or taking care of animals. I'm also keen to get on-board with repairs, DIY projects, or any hands-on tasks. My background is in Graphic design, so I'm also more than willing to use my skills and experience from the industry in any way needed, if you have any marketing / social media / website design needs.

Mel: I am a lover of animals and nature looking to contribute my experience in these areas. I love being outdoors and learning about wildlife and plants. I like getting mucky building, planting, weeding and growing. I am really interested in learning about the management of land and animals, specifically regenerative farming. I love animals and all aspects of animal care - I never shy away from the mucking out part. I'm also experienced in babysitting and love coming up with creative play ideas for kids as well as reading stories and having mini adventures. I'd also love to teach free Yoga classes during our stay for all the family!
