Description

Hi,

Our names are Conor and Laura.

We're both from Bristol, UK, and have set off on our trip and plan to travel around South East Asia and Australia. We've been wanting to do this trip for a long time now and originally had planned to go in 2020, which got cancelled a few weeks before we were due to set off, so we are super keen to experience as much as we can! At home in Bristol, we like to find cool trees to climb, go for walks and we both love cycling. We love wild camping in hammocks so we do that as much as we can in the summer time. In the winter, we mainly hibernate but also do bouldering at our local climbing gym. We also love cooking for friends and family so we enjoy doing that whatever the season!

Laura has done a traveling trip before, around the United States, then down to Costa Rica through Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Conor has lived in France for 4 months working as a chef, where he spent lot of time snowboarding. From both of our previous separate experiences we know that the most important memories are the ones where we have met new people, put ourselves out of our comfort zones and tried things that we wouldn't usually get the opportunity to at home. We want to get the most out of this experience so are open minded to what opportunities come up. We are both very close to our own and each others family and are lucky enough to have an amazing group of friends, so leaving that was tough but we know that it will be worth it for the people that we will meet and experiences that we will have on the way!

I (Laura) have an allotment at home and grow vegetables & flowers so would love to put some of those skills to use and learn more. I would also love to learn & teach yoga, I am a trained yoga teacher so would be happy and able to to lead classes, but of course would always take opportunities to learn. I also love baking, especially using sourdough and really enjoy trying out new recipes.

I (Conor) was a chef for nearly 8 years, I have always loved climbing and being outside so I trained as an arborist, and have been doing this for the past 3 years. The added bonus is that I can work normal hours and have a social life outside of work!

We are both huge animal lovers, love being in nature and exploring new places. We are outgoing, respectful and open minded. We will give most things a go and enjoy getting stuck in!
