Description
Holly (35) and Vaughan (35) Batchelor
Best friends of twenty-five years; together for ten, married for one.
Based in a beloved hut on a rural horse farm in Kent, UK. We are partial to long walks, light summers, live music and lasting friendships. We are passionate about being out-of-doors and experiencing the world through walking.
We have travelled far and wide together, albeit intermittently in recent years due to work commitments. Most recently we had six months travelling across Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India and Nepal, before the pandemic swiftly brought us to back England. Fueled on micro-adventures and full-time work for the past five years, we are once again ready to put our bags on our back and step into the next adventure.
We are very much looking forward to walking away from our long-standing managerial roles in Medical and Operational Education to trek 1500km along the Camino paths from Le Puy, France to Santiago, Spain.
Beyond our initial steps across Europe, we will be fulfilling our long-standing ambitions to volunteer and workaway, share our skills and energy and we hope to contribute, learn, explore, wander and wonder.
Let's see some of you on our way.
