Description
Hi from Lee and Patrick!
We are a recently retired but energetic couple who share a love of travel, nature walks, the beach, meeting people, caring for animals, and experiencing different cultures. We are fit, and active, and love the outdoors. We can’t quite believe it but we have been together for nearly three decades – forever grateful to our friend who all those years ago set us up on a blind date! Over the years, we have raised a son, renovated several houses, established many gardens, treasured numerous beloved pets, and travelled far and wide. A couple of years ago we made the sea-change from Sydney to the gorgeous north coast of NSW.
Now that we have the luxury of time, we are looking forward to new adventures. We hope that joining Workaway will give us the opportunity to combine our love of travel with meeting people and contributing in a meaningful way.Interests
