Our next destination:
Hawaii, United States - from Mar 2025 until May 2025 View all
Description
Aloha! We're a family that loves travel, animals, hiking (and many other outdoor activities), cooking, meeting new people and learning about different cultures. Most recently, we have been living in Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii where Geoff has worked in maintenance, landscaping & HOA management at small condo resorts. However, we have lived in many places including Japan, the UK and various parts of the US. Currently, Geoff is taking a break from work and we are helping our friends in Australia with some DIY projects at their home and AirBNB. Elizabeth is a freelance writer and homeschool mom to our 3 daughters: Abigail (8), Anabelle (6), and Adelaine (20 months). Our girls love meeting and playing with other kids and are not shy at all.

What else ...
Our family loves being outdoors and taking care of animals. We are a homeschooling family and we like to do a lot of things together whether that be taking nature walks/hikes, reading books or playing boardgames/outdoor games/sports. We would love for our girls to partake in any farm work duties as well as cooking and house cleaning. They are also really creative and make friends easily.
