Description

We are a couple from Australia and currently living aboard our 29ft Ranger, sailing along the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. We are adventurous at heart and are always looking to start a new chapter! Hopefully our next one is with you :)

Hello! I'm Lauren, I am qualified as Yoga teacher, Pilates instructor, Reiki practitioner and Sound healer, originally from England but I have been calling Australia home since I was 6 years old. With strong Pitta energy, I'm always staying busy whether thats playing with my watercolours or rebuilding a website.

After six years in real estate, I realised the importance of work-life balance, leading me to the wellness industry. As most teachers are, I will forever be a student, constantly growing.

G'day I'm Jacob and I'm currently studying a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Safety and Environment. I have previous experience in the surf industry as an instructor and lifeguard in Canada, Nicaragua and back home in Australia (ISA Level 1 Qualified). I also have experience in carpentry and general labouring and I would be stoked to help out with any projects! In my spare time im either down at the beach, surfing or spearfishing for dinner.

We are both so excited to share our skills and create meaningful connections with people across the globe.
