Description

We are a friendly, open-minded couple who are excited to build new friendships, try new food, learn new skills and share ideas and experiences to last a lifetime... (Cheesy but true!)
We appreciate all that the earth has to offer and are happiest in the hills, from climbing to swimming, hiking to running, cycling, kayaking, camping and more.
On our trip, of which we have an open ended timeline for, we will be travelling around Europe and then on to South East Asia. We are looking to stay with hosts for 2-3 weeks and we hope they will help us to develop our understanding and skill-set towards living sustainably and aquire building and renovating skills. David would also love to put his basic carpentry certificate into action and Liv would like to look after animals, craft and decorate.

We want to learn how to keep our footprint on the earth to a minimum by increasing our knowledge of self sufficiency, eco-living and growing an edible garden.

We do not drive so are looking for host locations where we can reach amenities without a car.

We are fully vaccinated and cannot wait to meet you to share a wonderful time together!

More details about your skills

We are not afraid of hard work! and are just happy to help. We love tinkering around the house, reading, cooking, growing plants and vegetables and caring for our rats.

Liv: I enjoy sewing, making my own clothes and bags, making things out of clay like earrings and trinket dishes. I also like to paint and give a new lease of life to old things! I am a huge animal lover and have owned my own horse and many small furries. I have volunteered and worked for several community charities including living with a family in rural India for 3 months and supporting survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking in the city of Manchester.

David: I enjoy being hands on and have completed a Level 2 certificate in joinery and carpentry that I would love to put to use, as well as learn more. I'm a big history nerd so an ambition is to renovate an old house and learn about its past. I have a degree in audio engineering/production and I have played the drums for 15 years, as well as other instruments, I am eager to share this passion with others.
