Description
Hello - our name's are Laura and Nate. We are a couple from the UK, who are living in Australia for the year and hoping to explore as much as possible.
Nate is a secondary school Math's teacher and Laura is a travel executive from The Times Newspaper. We both have a love for travel and meeting new people and are hoping to meet some wonderful people whilst making our way up the East Coast of Australia.
As animal lovers we are experienced with looking after dogs, cats and horses. Nate is great with children and also has done Math's tutoring in the past if this would be helpful.
We are keen gardeners, cooks and will really just get stuck in to any task that we are given. Laura has previously worked in hospitality and hotels, so more than happy to assist with cleaning tasks.
Any questions please do let us know. We can't wait to connect with you :)
