Description

Hello!

I am Jo and my partner is George! After finishing our degrees and working in our fields of study for the last few years, we have decided it is time to embark on our next adventure. We hope to create lots of new memories, meet new people are share our skills along the way.

I (Jo) have been working as a creative designer at a marketing agency, but have dabbled in various industries, such as hospitality, horticulture and childcare. George has been working in Project Management and has experience in construction, horticulture and retail.

We are a fun, adaptable and friendly couple who love spending our time outdoors, giving new things a try. When we get a chance, we like to get out and ski, mountain bike and hike (tramp) as well as experience what the destination has to offer.
