Description

Hi,
We are Chris and Isabel, we have been married for 25 years and have three adult children.
This year we have taken some time out to travel and have new experiences.

I'm Isabel, I have a background in outdoor learning, Forest School and bushcraft and a formal education in the form of an Environmental Management degree. I love being outside, I don't feel like I am living if I am not outdoors! I love to grow things too. I want to learn more about living off grid and providing more of my own food and energy. I hope to meet like minded people through workaway and gain knowledge and experience to help me tread lighter on the earth and live a more positive and fulfilling life.

I'm Chris, I have been running my own business as a plumbing and heating engineer for the past 17 years. Isabel and I often work together on jobs. I also love being outdoors, hiking, cycling, swimming, kayaking and generally enjoying nature. Like Isabel I would like to learn more about off grid living and different ways of life.

We are both very able practically, particularly in the areas of plumbing, tiling, gardening, basic carpentry, painting and decorating. We are happy to turn our hands to all practical tasks.
