Description
Hi there!
We are Chris and Chip, a couple from the South of England. We have taken some time out to do our first proper bit of travelling since COVID. We are going to be living in our tiny campervan for the summer, accompanied by our dog Tervy, and would love to help hosts with their projects.
Between us we have a weird and wonderful range of skills. Chip has the organisation and efficiency of his Army training (he was in the Royal Signals, and part of their Motorcycle Display Team), enjoys physical outdoor jobs and is particularly keen on using and improving his woodworking skills. Chip is also a qualified Web Developer, and is generally great at troubleshooting tech problems. He is a enthusiastic worker and is always keen to get started on the next project. In the last few years, he has taught himself how to use a sewing machine, and is capable of making bags and other textile bits.
For myself (Chris), I studied Environmental Science at University and then spent time in a whole range of different jobs to fund trips abroad. Most of my experience has been in outdoor roles such as Countryside Rangering and practical conservation work. I currently work as a gardener on my local Uni Campus, growing veg and maintaining the grounds, and am a keen interest in all aspects of tree work. For anyone needing painting work, I trained for several years as a painter and decorator specialising in historic buildings.
Outside of work, the main things we enjoy doing together are hiking in beautiful quite places with our dog, coffee, water sports, running, cycling, reading, seeing new places and learning about different cultures. Our favourite trip together so far has been our cycle touring adventure from the UK across Europe to the Black Sea, and we really value hearing about other peoples travels and experiences!
