Description

Hi all!

We are two 27-year-old best friends who quit our jobs and sold all of our belongings to backpack the world. We are both very open-minded, creative and adventurous people who enjoy learning new languages and trying new things. We're on the lookout for opportunities to give back to our mother earth, and build connections with people from whom we can learn about different cultures and perspectives.

Brand strategy: I've got an eye for marketing and have worked as a strategist for small businesses wishing to elevate their brand.

I have co-directed children's musicals with Musical Theatre Los Angeles, taught drama in schools and private coaching sessions, and been a kids party host (dressed up as a princess, fairy, unicorn, superhero, and more!)

Social Media Marketing: I have a Diploma of Social Media Marketing which I used to get a job as a social media manager for a Brisbane adventure company. I also used to run my own blog, so I'm a very confident writer.

Administration: I have worked as head of administration and accounts at a civil construction company, and as an administration officer in the Emergency Department at a major public hospital in Brisbane. I have the organisational skills, attention to detail and people skills that you need to excel in administrative work.
