Our next destination:
Melbourne, Australia - from Oct 2025 until Dec 2025 View all
Description
We’re Charlie and Ross, a couple from the UK travelling with our Labrador, Fig.
Ross is an electrical engineer with a keen interest in engineering and anything held together with nuts and bolts. He’s practical, good with tools, and experienced in general maintenance, fencing, and gardening.
Charlie is a large animal vet taking some time off before working in New Zealand. She enjoys anything creative or outdoorsy and isn’t afraid of hard, physical work.
Our hobbies include running, mountain biking (and other forms of cycling), as well as all sorts of creative activities from building a bench and raised beds to drawing and painting.
Fig is a two-year-old black Lab — friendly, sweet-natured, and always close by.
We’re easygoing, reliable, and enjoy meeting new people, learning new skills, and helping out wherever we can.
