Description
Hey, we're Matt and Amelia, from Cornwall, UK. We are a 31 and 29 year old couple who are looking for their next adventure. We love to travel and spend as much time outdoors as possible, recently converting a van to do so. We have extensive travel experience and have been lucky enough to visit 38 countries, we have recently travelled around South-America backpacking. We enjoy working with our hands as well as having a passion for the environment. Matt's career job being an energy manager where he looks to reduce energy consumption, costs and move towards net zero for businesses. Amelia is a fully qualified hair stylist with 10 years in the industry. Our other interests include hiking, football, cricket, cycling, skiing, cold water swimming, camping and being around animals. We are also massive foodies. We've always loved the idea of working abroad voluntarily to give something back to people who may need it and to experience new cultures & skills.
We are keen to working outdoors, open to getting hands on and involved in physical tasks & projects. We're eager to learn new skills and be out in nature as much as possible. Being animal lovers we are also interested in wildlife related work experiences, the environment and local culture.
