Description
Hello, we are Jack and Mandy from Australia :)
We've been travelling around Asia and Europe together since the end of 2024 and have been together for 6 years.
We're looking for opportunities to connect, contribute and become immersed in the local culture.
We are both positive, open-minded, sociable and responsible individuals who look forward helping you and learning more about life in your part of the world. We want to learn by doing, helping where we can, and becoming a part of your community.
✨ A bit more about us
Jack has truly been a "jack of all trades"- having been a cleaner, swimming teacher, gardener, labourer, babysitter and recently, worked in insurance. He enjoys reading sci-fi novels, keeping up to date with world politics and enjoys running.
Mandy worked in hospitality for several years and enjoys cooking and exploring new places through food. She studied philosophy.
We both have experience with taking care of pets, gardening, cleaning, organising and cooking.
We are fast learners, enjoy acquiring new skills and will give anything a go.
