Travel information

Activities we are interested in:

We are an active couple with a love for food, culture and exploring. Keen to travel, we know Australia will bring a new adventure for us and are hopeful to meet some friendly faces along the way!

Description

Hello! If you're reading this, hopefully we get the opportunity to meet and work together. Having grown up in the countryside of Ireland, I've always enjoyed exploring the outdoors, accompanied by nature and many animal friends.
My girlfriend, Lydia (from the UK), is a yoga-animal loving person, and together we are keen to start this adventure and find new experiences!

Living in London has made us both realise that city life only stimulates a fraction of the brain, so moving to Australia feels like the right move. We want to learn new skills, enhance the ones we have, but also live a more healthy simple life.

Hands on, motivated, outdoorsy and v. friendly are only some of the things we pride ourselves on - we also happen to be extremely hard workers!!

I'm new to work away but really looking forward to working in completely different environments and making new memories. We're young, fit and open minded. My motto is don't judge anything/anyone until you've tried it or met them.

We are currently in Bellingen, NSW but looking to make our way north over the next 6 months.

We have just completed our RSA, RSG and in the process of completing our white card.
