Description
Hello, Bonjour and 'woof'!
We are Mandy (English) Sam (Swiss) and Marsha (canine/Whippet Princess) We have been travelling in our converted van for the last three years and have realised we would love to better understand communities, absorb culture, participate usefully, pick up some language skills, and make some new friends with like-minded people (It can become a little lonely on the road!)
Sam has furniture making experience of around 20 years, and is pretty handy with anything wood related. Sam ran a business for 11 years crafting bespoke furniture for various residences throughout London. He is proficient at CAD software.
Mandy has an extensive career in healthcare. She is launching a couple of freelance projects featuring antenatal education about the microbiome, and also teaching English language online. She also has a qualification in upholstery, and enjoys all sorts of crafts.
Marsha the whippet is our baby. She is very friendly with other dogs and humans. She enjoys mega sleeps and pretending she is a skilled hunter (she is not).
