Description

We are Kay and Sophia, a married couple who are living and travelling in our van since March 2022. We have no set plan but would like to work, learn, travel and relax in equal measures!

KAY: I am 37 years old and in 2022 I converted a van into a campervan, got married, quit my job and hit the road to travel. I would like to do some hard work, learn new skills and meet some local people rather than just passing through. I am particularly interested in building techniques, crop and herb growing, and renovation as I would like to build my own dwelling one day. I also love animals and would be more than happy to get stuck in to tending to them and learning about this as well.
I come from Huddersfield originally which is in West Yorkshire, UK but have lived in Manchester UK for 12 years. I love to read, research, hike/walk and cook and I always like to have a project on the go! I can't play any instruments but I love listening to music. A good days work, some exploring of the local area and perhaps a fire and good food in the evening and that is my perfect day!

SOPHIA: I am 34 years old and from Liverpool, UK. I worked as a mental health nurse and have spent 3 years in New Zealand and Australia. I like to run and particularly like to swim so anywhere near a lake or the sea and I am happy! I like reading and love meeting new people and learning about different cultures.
