Our next destination:
British Columbia, Canada - from Oct 2024 until Dec 2026 View allDescription
Hi! Our names are Caitie and Finn. We are from the UK and work in Healthcare (Caitie) and Sustainability (Finn).
We are both 28 years old and after 4 years living in London have made the decision to get out of the city and move to Canada for a new lifestyle. We have an approved IEC visa and want to spend our time in Canada outdoors as much as possible.
Finn: I am an outdoors and adventure enthusiast. I try to document some of my adventures and thoughts on my blog: adventureconscious.com. I have also got some experience in labouring and gardening so can use some of these skills to help out. I am very physically active and excited to move from the office chair to being outside and doing physical work in beautiful landscapes. I spent a season in France working as a Chalet Host in the Alps. During this time I looked after a chalet and cooked food for my guests.
I've spent 5 years working in sustainability and have a passion for helping decarbonize our planet and preserve the amazing places we are lucky to explore.
In my free time I would love to go on hikes and swims and explore the amazing Canadian Landscape.
Caitie: I come from a big family so am used to a busy house, helping out where I can and looking after younger siblings. I enjoy cooking and find it a way to de-stress after a long day, and love how a meal can bring a busy household together after a day apart.
Most recently I worked in a hospital in London, delivering care to cancer patients on clinical trials. I loved being part of these people's lives and hearing their stories while caring for them, and although hard at points the job overall was extremely rewarding.
While at school & University I worked in a coffee shop & behind the bar at a local pub which was also a great way to meet and chat to different people.
Travelling has always been a huge part of my life, having volunteered in Fiji for a summer in 2017, travelled around South East Asia before University and lived in Australia with my family when I was younger.
I'm looking forward to living a slower and more mindful life after being in London for 5 years, and to experiencing the gorgeous scenery and activities Canada has to offer.Interests
