Description

Hi there! My partner Andrew and I have been living in the small mountain town of Revelstoke, BC, Canada for the past couple of years, where we've loved immersing ourselves in its incredible access to nature and adventure. From skiing and hiking to mountain biking, living close to the outdoors has been a huge part of our lifestyle.

We're currently travelling through Central America for a couple of months on our way back home to New Zealand, and we're excited to connect with new people, cultures, and communities along the way.

One of our most recent adventure was a 4-week bikepacking trip through the south of Japan — a beautiful and challenging journey that reminded us how much we love slow travel and meaningful connections.

We're both hardworking, adaptable, and eager to contribute wherever we go — whether it's in the garden, the kitchen, or helping with creative projects. Looking forward to the experiences ahead!

I graduated with a degree in Psychology and Education back in 2015 and have spent majority of the last decade working in a broad range of diverse roles. Some of these include hiking guide, ranger in conservation, ski patrol, hospitality, outdoor education, and childcare.

Andrew has a background in accounting and finance, a career as a professional cricketer for a few years, and more recently in project management in the construction industry.

We're both kind and caring individuals with a love of experiencing new cultures and ways of life, approaching new environments with curiosity and a positive attitude.

I'm interested in DIY projects and enjoy learning new skills, I have previously supported a workaday host in France to restore a 17th Century Villa with tasks such as constructing an IKEA kitchen, laying wooden flooring, and many landscaping and gardening tasks.

Whether working independently or together, Andrew and I consider ourselves hardworking, proactive, and always open to learning new skills new.
