Description

Hello! we are a young couple from Scotland looking to do a workaway over the summer. We are both from the west coast of Scotland and we have lived in Manchester for the last three years. Malcolm works as an Archivist in heritage and libraries and Sorcha works with vulnerable young people experiencing homelessness. We ideally would want to stay somewhere from early July to late August 2025. We have lots of skills and experiences to offer and can't wait to meet you and learn about your culture!!!

We both have experience of travelling and visiting new places, making us adaptable and excited to embrace new cultures. On this trip, we have decided to do work away as we love the idea of staying in one place for an extended period of time so we can really fully experience an area and it's culture. We believe that the best way to understand a place is through its people (and food!) and we would love to have a meaningful travel experience. We are dipping our toes into the workaway world and we can't wait to start!

We have a wide range of skills and interests to offer you. We both love cooking and we have experience working in hospitality. We are vegetarian and vegan and love cooking and eating this type of food. We both work in people focused fields and are good listeners. We both have an interest in environmental projects and we are excited to learn more about what different countries and cultures do to help protect our natural world. We care about where our food and produce comes from and would be keen to contribute towards a small farm.

We enjoy being outdoors, hiking and exploring new places so are not afraid of living in a more rural setting. However, we also enjoy the buzz of a city and the culture and diversity cities can bring.

Sorcha is a qualified yoga teacher and feels comfortable leading classes. Malcolm enjoys history and is always keen to understand why and how cultures have developed. We are also happy to contribute to cleaning and tidying.

We are up for a challenge and trying new things so if you think we could be a good fit let us know!
