Hello! We are a couple from Bristol, England. One of the top cities in the UK leading the way to a more environmentally friendly world! Which we are both really passionate about.
We love to travel! We landed in Australia in November 2019 after travelling through Asia since January 2019. We LOVE learning about different cultures, food, art, animals and music.
It's very important to us that we truely make a difference to the state of affairs our world is in at the moment! We have done many Workaways and have gained SO MANY skills and so much knowledge from each of them. We are so grateful for that.
Both coming from very different professional backgrounds- Beth’s experience is in healthcare. Whilst Ben has a more creative focus; studying art, design and illustration, with multiple hobbies within this field.
We are friendly, positive and driven. We love meeting new people, we will always accept a challenge and are eager to help :)
