Description

Hello,

We are an English couple, Lottie (30) and Matt (38). We are a Nurse and a Doctor, based in an Intensive Care Unit in a busy London hospital.
We are looking to take a break from healthcare, and want to Workaway for 3 months in early 2023 (Feb-May time).
Location? South America! We are trying to learn some Spanish to prepare, and look forward to our Spanish improving!

Lottie:
Before the Covid pandemic, I travelled at least once every year with Workaway (and Help-ex) since I was 17... I owe all my adventures to these amazing hosts!
I have done Workaways in Canada, USA, Australia, South Africa, Malawi, Turkey, Norway and the UK. These have included livestock farms, guest houses/backpackers, horse trail riding businesses, surf camps.
Experienced rider - English/Western/Stock.
Experienced as a horseback trail guide.
I have tried barrel racing, pole bending, cattle drives, mustering, some polocrosse and endurance.
Experience outside of UK with beef cattle, sheep, goats. Have worked on a dairy farm and at a dog kennel here in UK.
Experienced at training/handling dogs.

Matt:
I love water sports, sailing, mountain biking, *all things computer related*, medicine, gardening, baking bread, animals, travelling, fixing stuff, drawing. I have ridden horses in Finland, Spain and Egypt in the last few months (~45 hours in the saddle). I would really like to work with horses and improve my riding on a Workaway.



We are kind, friendly, enthusiastic people.
We live in London, but we are not City People!
We love the outdoors, love animals, enjoy having a laugh, having new adventures and are happy to work hard.
We love to ride, hike, stand up paddle board, wing foil, snorkel/scuba, swimming, tennis, biking, camping...

We have both worked extensively in hospitality in the UK and around the world, everything from private chefs/events, hotels, arenas, restaurants, backpackers, bars, clubs, ranches, guest lodges...

Both have full and clean drivers license.

Any questions or if you want references, please just ask...

Cheers,
Lottie and Matt
