Description

Hi, we're Ella and Sam, Ella is 25 and Sam is 27 and we are from The Cotswolds, England. We are travelling around Australia on a Working Holiday Visa. We're currently in Perth!

We don't have a car in Australia yet so don't have our own transport.

Ella was raised on a Farm in the Cotswolds, England so has had close contact with animals and horticulture since she was born. She has experience with sheep, goats, pigs, cows, horses and poultry, as well as all sorts of crops, and would love to use these skills abroad. Ella's parents’ farm in the Cotswolds is open to the public as a Farm Park. She worked at the park between the ages of 13 and 19 so has a lot of experience in dealing with tourists, from performing talks to answering questions about the animals.

Ella has a degree in English Literature and has some experience teaching. She doesn't have very much experience in languages, but is really willing to learn and would love the opportunity to teach her language whilst learning another at the same time!

Sam trained as a carpenter when he left school and then moved on to train as a construction manager. He was a carpenter for three years and a construction manager for two - so will be very handy with any building work or odd jobs that may need doing. Sam grew up in the Cotswolds surrounded by animals, so is very comfortable with any animals and willing to learn more about them. He's had experience on Ella's parents farm, so has some skills working with farm animals too.

Sam's biggest love is football and all things sporty - so if there are any activities to do with any kind of sport, whether this is with tourists or with family members, Sam will always be up for helping out! Although Sam doesn't know any other languages, he's very keen to learn and fully experience all different cultures and countries.

If you think we’d suit what you’re offering, please let me know - we'd love to hear from you!
