Description

We are a boyfriend and girlfriend who are both keen travelers and enjoy meeting and getting to know others, and trying new things.

In October, we will be leaving England and travelling South and South East Asia, before arriving into Australia. We are excited to explore more of the world together and make amazing memories with others from across the globe.

We have both lived abroad during our late teens and early twenties. I (Steph) first traveled outside Europe to volunteered overseas in Indonesia at the age of 16. Aged 18, I then volunteered in India for over three months, and was asked by the local team to return six months later to coordinate volunteers and support their local projects. After this, I joined local teams in another two countries (Sri Lanka and Indonesia) in my summer breaks from university. Since graduating in 2018, I have travelled and worked abroad in several other countries across Africa, Asia and North America. My times abroad are some of my fondest memories - even more so, those with the people I met and worked with.

Tom is also a keen traveler. He has studied abroad in Germany and Italy for six months at a time. He really enjoys learning new languages (speaking four in total) and getting to know new people. He is also a big football fan, supporting Man United and Grimsby Town.

We're so excited to experience more incredible places. We hope we can work with you through your Workaway opportunity, and can't wait to learn all about your local way of life whilst sharing memories with you.
