Description

Hey! We're Issie and Murray. We're an active, outdoorsy couple from Hampshire in the South of England. We are taking a career break and coming to Canada in June 2025 on Working Holiday Visas.

A few words from Issie...
I currently work as a Molecular Biologist and in my free time enjoy creative hobbies such as silversmithing and crochet. I love to cook and bake and would be delighted to help with planning and making meals. I have a keen interest in learning more about growing food, in particular organic/permaculture practices. I have experience house sitting, pet sitting cats, dogs and horses, and volunteering at rewilding projects and soup kitchens. I love to learn new skills and get a real buzz from making and mending. This will be my first experience living abroad and meeting new people and contributing to community is important to me.

A few words from Murray...
Hey! I'm currently employed as an Engineer/Project Manager but outside of work have a passion for the outdoor lifestyle. I'm at my happiest when hiking, cycling, climbing, swimming, or taking part in any other form of sport or activity. I'm a keen and quick learner and always striving to improve myself. I'm very much looking to forward to working in new and exciting places and all the challenges that come with it.
