Description
We are a couple (Clare and Declan) in our 30's from Melbourne, Australia, currently lucky enough to be travelling the northern hemisphere!
At home, Clare is a professional horticulturist and market gardener at a food relief not-for-profit, as well as managing a farm on an ex-landfill site. Her hobbies are hiking, foraging, preserving/pickling food, crafting and camping. She has done work exchanges on farms in Australia, Nepal and Canada and really enjoyed meeting locals and learning new things!
Declan is a lecturer in urban planning at a university in Australia. He likes snorkelling, playing football, listening to music, reading and writing. Also an aspiring brewer and keen to learn more!
We are very keen to experience new cultures, learn new things and help out wherever needed!Interests

Declan is considerably less talented than Clare but has worked as an English and maths tutor and can assist with copywriting and research.
