Louise & Matthew

Travel information

Description

2025 has been a big year of change for us, getting off the hamster wheel after years of working in the Financial/Commercial sector (Louise) and Telecoms (Matt). Louise is now working as a yoga teacher and loves sharing her passion for yoga with others. Matt has recently resigned from his position as Head of Fibre Build for a big corporate company. Having never travelled when we left school other than holidays, we are hoping to have a new experience living in a different culture. We love playing racket sports, cycling and hiking. We also enjoy spending as much time as possible in nature, by the sea and in the forest.

We love animals, Louise had horses for many years and competed in endurance riding. Our children also had ponies and competed in mounted games. Louise had a dog walking business when our children were younger and before we had children we used to provide foster care for cats/kittens for the RSPCA.

We both enjoy cooking and make everything from scratch using whole foods. We always cook and eat healthy nutritious food so we would enjoy using these skills during our workaway. At 54/56 years of age, healthspan is super important to us. We want to live a long, healthy life so really look after ourselves.

We look after our own house with regards to DIY and gardening, by no mean specialists but able to turn our hands to most things.
