We are currently preparing for a career break starting in July/Aug 2026!

Description

Hey, we are James and Ellie, a couple planning a career break later this year (August to December) to travel around Europe - and beyond!

Ellie is just about to finish training as a therapist, and James has worked as a teacher, in Greek refugee camps, and most recently in UK politics. We both have lots of experience working with children and young people and both love being outdoors - we can't wait to have some time away from working to relax, explore new cultures and get involved in new projects.

We are particularly interested in helping with any sustainability projects as this is the field that James would like to learn about for future work. Our long term future dream is to open up a therapeutic outdoor experience centre for disadvantaged kids back in the UK countryside, but we are just really excited to meet new people and share amazing experiences.
