Description
Hi! We’re Rosie and Andy
We are taking a sabbatical from our career jobs starting in July 2026 and cannot wait to get out and meet new people, experience different cultures and support others.
We currently live in Dubai, which is where we have called home for the last four years. We are both from countryside villages in the North of England which has given us a love of nature.
Rosie - I am a qualified and registered paediatric mental health nurse with over 10 years of experience working with children.
I love being around children of all ages and very much enjoy arranging and participating in creative, educational and wellbeing focused activities.
I am an active and sporty person and love the outdoors (when the sunshines!).
Andy - I am a chartered accountant which means I have excellent excel skills and maths skills. When I’m not sat at my desk I like to be playing sport or exercising. Rosie and I met whilst climbing but my passion is football (watching/playing/thinking about!). In 2017 I travelled across America coaching children’s football with an organised sports group. During this time I stayed with the families partaking in the camp which gave me the opportunity to soak in the culture as well as make lasting relationships.
We are both personable, fun and bubbly and we look forward to meeting likeminded others! -

Firstly, and most importantly, the work. We spent the week mostly helping prepare for the cold winter ahead by moving, chopping and storing wood; this kind of work makes you appreciate the dedication it takes … read more
