Hi! We are Malaysian traveler exploring the world. Over the past 6 months, we’ve walked the Camino de Santiago, volunteered in Switzerland and are now surfing in Sri Lanka.

Description

Hello! We're Bevis and Lydia👋🏻 a couple from Malaysia 🇲🇾 excited to connect, learn, and contribute as we explore Europe! *and we are going to explore Asia in early of 2025 too ;)

About Bevis:
I'm a nature enthusiast who loves running, hiking, swimming, and meditation. I enjoy writing and reflecting on my experiences. Currently in Europe, my goal is to explore the diverse cultures, foods, and traditions of each country I visit. In the future, I dream of having my own farm where I can create a sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle.

About Lydia:
I'm passionate about capturing and sharing memories, and I’m always drawn to nature. Back home, I have two dachshunds and thirteen cats, so I understand the joy and care that animals bring. I'm curious to learn about the unique cultural features and traditions of each place we visit.

We’re both friendly, respectful, and eager to lend a hand, especially in outdoor or community-related projects. We look forward to the exchange of ideas and stories with hosts and fellow travelers. Thank you for considering us as part of your journey! 🫶🏻

What else ...

About Lydia: I have a background working as a veterinary assistant for two years, which has given me strong skills in animal care. I’m experienced with cats and dogs most of the time (sometimes exotic animals) , and I find it easy to understand animals and feel at ease in their care. I am also patient and attentive to their needs, qualities I believe are essential for providing them with comfort and proper care. While I’m experienced with household pets, I’m eager to expand my skills and knowledge to include farm animals, as I feel that working with them will be an incredibly rewarding learning experience.

About Bevis: I have hands-on experience in construction, having helped build a house in the past, which has given me practical skills that could be a valuable asset on a farm. I've also worked as a storekeeper, and I hope these skills can be useful for a variety of farm tasks, including handling repairs, maintenance, and keeping farm supplies organized.
