Description
G’Day! We are Ashleigh and Heyson, an Australian couple in our late 20s traveling across Europe in 2024. We have been together for 9 years and over this time have done lots of travel, between work and study. We are taking 6 months off our full-time jobs to learn new skills and immerse ourselves in different cultures.
Heyson:
I am a physiotherapist from Adelaide, South Australia. I’m a kind, hardworking, and social person with a love for cooking, eating, exercising, and the outdoors. Growing up on a farm in South Australia, I developed skills in animal handling (sheep, cattle, horses, dogs) and using machinery (motorbikes, tractors, trucks, cars). I also have experience in customer service from working at a local general store and cafe. Additionally, I’ve worked as a laborer for a builder, which nurtured my passion for using my hands and being outside.
I pursued a Masters of physiotherapy at Flinders University, driven by my love for helping people and working with individuals of all ages. With nearly five years of experience in a private practice, I’m always on the move and enthusiastic about interacting with people from around the world.
Ashleigh:
I am an Occupational Therapist specialising in working with children with disabilities and developmental delays. My passion lies in helping others, building relationships, and embracing new opportunities. In conjunction to this, I love socialising and being active on the weekends. I have a love for animals and children.
My background includes various roles in the hospitality industry, including waitressing and food preparation (pizza shop and health foods). I am dedicated and put my all into everything I do.
Our Workaway Goals:
We are excited about all Workaway opportunities and eager to immerse ourselves in local cultures while meeting people from all walks of life. We are both great with kids and hardworking, making us well-suited for families, hotels, farms, and anything in between.
Looking forward to connecting with you!
