Description
Hi there!

A little bit about us...

We are a down to earth, friendly, free-spirited and practical pair looking for a change of pace, explore new parts of the world we haven’t seen yet, meet some new lovely people and learn some new skills. We’ve just returned from a 4 month trip travelling/working in France and looking for our next adventure!

Rozelle has a background working in landscaping, horticulture, maintenance and plumbing and is a qualified Personal Trainer.

I am a trained Art Therapist with a background working in health and social care with people with disabilities, using art and horticulture to improve mental health and wellbeing. I also have experience in landscaping and gardening.

Between us we have a variety of skills, are very practical, able to turn our hand to most DIY and building tasks, can use power tools and are naturally curious and quick learners and aren’t afraid of hard or dirty work!

We love to try new things and challenge ourselves. Rozelle was lucky enough to be picked to be on ‘Bear Grylls - The Island’ reality TV survival show and made it to the end, surviving 5 weeks stranded on a dessert island. She also trekked to Everest Base Camp shortly after the show.

We have also both been involved in various sports over the years including Muy Thai, Rugby, cross fit and boxing.

These days we are at our happiest and most content when we are outdoors and surrounded by nature :)

We love to laugh, hike, keeping fit, reading, making art, playing and listening to music, cooking and having mini adventures in our VW campervan where we enjoy a beer or two and a bbq while we watch the sun go down, whenever we can!

If you think we could be well suited please get in touch.

Looking forward to sharing the journey with you :)

Our time with Jen and her family was awesome. Such a stunning area of France and a gorgeous garden to work and spend time in! Our work was really varied and they were happy for a mixture of us taking initiative and letting us know specific tasks they wanted doing. Jen is an incredible host, a total superwoman, super fit and always on the go but… read more

I can not praise these two enough for the work they did for us. They are gold standard helpers.
Both are incredibly fit, and Roz is probably the strongest woman you will ever meet.
They are self motivated with a can do attitude, happily referencing google and YouTube for any new jobs.
Our gardens have never looked better, all our power tools have… read more

Aw guys what can we say?!

Such an amazing, short but sweet stay!

Antoine and Audric are both very welcoming, friendly, relaxed, fair and generous hosts.

Workwise we did 4 hours a day in the garden and the work was varied, sometimes in the bigger group with other workawayers, other times just the 2 of us.. cue music Audric ;)

Great company,… read more

Jen and Rozelle stayed with us for a couple of weeks and what a great addition to our group they were.

They both were really friendly and fun to be around. Great sense of humour too. We had good moments together while having dinner or drinks and made memories that will last forever. 😊

On top of that they were very independent, dedicated and… read more

What a couple of legends these 2 are, Helen and Moyed both welcomed us instantly, and we both felt right at home, with them and there little lisle Jourdain crew.
Helens cooking was amazing and Moyed although having injured his thumb was still making jokes.
This was our first workaway and what a unique experience it was, landscaping from a pedalo I… read more

Rozelle and Jen were fantastic! Very friendly,polite, helpful and easy going- we felt comfortable with them from the first moment we met them! They worked very hard on our garden and followed instructions really well. They also knew how to use gardening equipment without any problems.
