Description
Hello, we're Rocky (Rochelle) and Mark – Aussie 🇦🇺 couple in our 30s and 40s who left corporate life to explore the world slowly and purposefully, preferably by bike or boat.
Since leaving Australia one year ago, we’ve bike toured through parts of Europe, worked a ski season in the French Alps, and mainly travelled around visiting friends and family. Previous to this, we lived off grid on our cosy 32ft yacht exploring the Great Barrier Reef. Our adventures have led us to beautiful people, stunning places, and many unique and memorable experiences.
We're experienced pet sitters who love all sorts of animals and are happy to care for homes and gardens like they’re our own. We've never used WorkAway before, but always had it on our radar!
In particular, we are interested in learning more about permaculture, small eco building projects, and ways of living more sustainably. Open minded and keen to up-skill and be more conscious about our personal footprint.
