British couple who quit their charity jobs to move to Aotearoa, buy a van, climb mountains, and dive into social impact projects the world of conservation.

Anna //
Lifelong experience growing up in a hands-on, self employed, art/design and printmaking family home. Shared with a sister as well as young foster placements. Recently left the UK and charity job behind to keep exploring my mission of creating positive societal impact through research, design, and action. Interests include swimming (anywhere), reading exceptionally long fantasy books, video gaming (almost exclusive to Zelda), and avid cinema plus post-mix soda lover.

Fred //
I want to see impact in the work I do: making change in the moment while contributing towards larger long term goals. Looking to work with my hands and get stuck in to all sorts of eco and building projects. Tech savvy, able to help with general IT with a focus in microsoft excel / data analytics. I find happiness in all the little things. Practice daily meditation, lover of board games, vegetarian, enjoy a good multi-day tramp, recently taken up knitting.
