Description

Hi there! We're Matt and Laurie from Bristol. We have a love of travelling and have been fortunate enough to visit many different places all over the world such as Australasia, Central and Northern America, Asia and Europe. We have spent the last couple of years travelling around the UK in our motorhome, with a three month trip to Spain and Portugal. Whilst in the UK we have enjoyed Workaway experiences at off-grid projects, we have looked after a host's Airbnb, and have also have also had the opportunity to get involved with set up for festivals.

We're currently taking a break from our careers to travel more and enjoy new experiences such as Workaway. Matt's career history from school has been Engineering, from hands on apprenticeship progressing through to management level. My (Laurie) career history is a little varied! I began my working life as a Veterinary Nurse, I then moved to corporate hospitality in the professional sports world, and have spent the last 10 years as a PA.

Along with travel we love to cook, walk, cycle, paddle board, ski, snowboard, kite sports, being outside as much as possible and we enjoy a festival or two! We're looking to share experiences with a variety of hosts and can turn our hands to most things, and also very willing to learn anything new. Laurie has an interest in learning to speak Spanish and has previously enjoyed volunteering through the National Trust working holidays.

More details about your skills

Matt has a long career history as an engineer (specialising in the electric motor rewind trade). He is a very practical, hands on problem solver who is used to working with people.

Laurie studied and qualified as a veterinary nurse and spent 11 years in the industry, she loves animals and is very happy with all aspects of animal care. She then took a change of path and moved into corporate hospitality and event management, so interacting with and helping any guests you may have is no problem at all. Latterly Laurie has worked as a PA, she's organised and pretty good on a computer if you have any admin you need sorted.
