Description

The search for activities, people, situation and environments that bring joy into our lives and help us grow as a people. We love interacting with both like-minded individuals who we share passions with or people with contrasting opinions to ours.

We want to explore everywhere, meet new people, push myself ourselves as people to try new experiences. We have a preference for being outside and are happy whenever we are with animals, (currently away from ours cats in England and miss them a lot).

Gemma - I'm generally a bubbly individual, focused person who loves an adventure. Previously lived in France and work as an outdoor instructor with children. Have a degree in childhood studies.

- Regularly take my neighbour's dogs for walks with me
- Have house sat for people with various animals including cats, dogs, horses and other smaller animals. Can ride horses.
- Adventurous - kayak, rock climbing, hiking, outdoor swimming
- Often find myself baking where possible or curled up with a book in my free time.

Luke - Lover of nature and new experiences, I've worked within sports coaching and primary school teaching for a number of years and am now looking for a fresh challenge.

- Used to working with and taking care of a number of animals including dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, rabbits among others.
- Have experience in landscape maintenance, looking after the land I have at home so used to using a variety of tools and machinery in order to maintain upkeep.
- A particular lover of music and classic & dark literature and always willing to give and receive recommendations.
- "LE GUSTA ESTE JARDIN, QUE ES SUYO? EVITE QUE SUS HIJOS LO
DESTRUYAN!"
