Description

Traveling from March 2025 to June 2026

Hello!
We are Heather and Paul, a couple originally from England who have been working and living in Sydney for the last 6 years. We have decided to take a break from the corporate world and head on a trip around this beautiful world, starting March 2025.
We are open to any project including hospitality/ child minding / cooking / cleaning / taxiing / dog sitting / gardening etc. that is desired.
We are both qualified yoga teachers and keen health and sports enthusiasts.
Paul is a Mechanical Engineer by degree who has worked in the tech sector for most of his career in Sales and Account Manager. He enjoys an active lifestyle, cycling to work and playing sports in his free time. He has experience gardening on a large surf camp project in Costa Rica through Workaway. He loves dogs and in his college days worked at a kennels for extra cash. Paul has 2 brothers and 1 sister and is used to cooking for all the family. His dinner party go to is a Teriyaki tofu feast - references available upon request.
Heather is an Economist by degree who since University has worked in Finance. She is very healthy and also enjoys an active lifestyle, cycling to work and going to all sorts of interesting gym classes in her spare time. Heather has a background in gymnastics and is qualified to coach certain practices (as well as being a Yoga Teacher, like Paul) . She regularly runs a fitness class for friends in the park in Sydney. She is a demon at baking cakes! (occasionally opting for coconut based, no flour, healthy ones too). Our family and friends in Sydney have dogs, puppies and cats that we regularly look after and who are arguably the most difficult to say goodbye to. Our love for dogs means that we would ideally be staying with a host who has a dog for us to walk / adore! Heather also has a big family and is close with her young cousins and used to child minding / entertaining / wearing them out!
We are both non-smokers, occasional drinkers, vegan eaters (no problem eating veggie, and happy to cook meat/ fish for other people), health enthusiasts, music fans, film fanatics with positive attitudes and high fitness levels. We have travelled Europe and Asia together on multiple trips and love meeting new people, experiencing the unknown and learning from local cultures. We are used to having busy days filled with exercising, working, studying and socializing and so we will bring a lot of energy to the table for whatever help our hosts may need.
Thanks for reading our bio and we hope to meet you soon!
