Description

Hey, we're Jake and Helen, both in our late 20s and from Sheffield in the UK. We love adventure and are setting off on a big trip in November 2026, starting in India and travelling through Asia before eventually moving to New Zealand. We’ll be travelling by bike for part of our journey and are looking forward to exploring the outdoors along the way.

On our previous trip, we travelled through Central and South America doing Workaways. We volunteered at a range of different places, from remote organic farms in the Colombian mountains, to learning bio-construction in a community in Nicaragua and living on a small, remote farm on the side of a volcano in Guatemala.

Jake works in adventure residential childcare and is a qualified mountain bike instructor with chainsaw and other outdoor qualifications. Helen is a qualified nurse and currently works as a community nurse.

We're easy to get on with and not afraid to get stuck in. We love walking, climbing, biking and cooking and enjoy learning new skills. We have a particular interest in growing organic food and sustainable living, and would love the opportunity to explore new cultures and become part of a family or community.
