Description

We are Katherine and James, a Scottish couple embarking on a 14 month journey across Asia to explore nature, culture and food. We are hoping to share experiences and work with local communities along our way and get to know the unique people that make the places we visit special. We have previously spent time travelling across Europe, Australia, and East Asia, trekking, working and volunteering.

When not travelling, Katherine is a senior researcher for the National Centre for Social Research, and a board member of Glasgow Community Food Network, who are a sustainable growing and climate action network that aim to bring about meaningful change to local communities. James is a certified group walking leader, who worked for a national active travel charity promoting sustainable transport and community development. We both would like to bring open minds and forward thinking to whatever we do. In our spare time, Katherine holds her 200h accreditation as a yoga teacher and James is a competitive trail runner, and recently completed a 10 day Vipassana meditiation.

This year our biggest achievements are completing our first triathlons, and walking the West Highland Way for the second time.
