Description
Hi! We are Tasmin and Declan, an Australian couple currently travelling South America for a year. We’re taking our time, trying to see places properly rather than rushing through them.
We are happiest outdoors.. hiking, swimming, exploring new landscapes, or just being somewhere with fresh air and a good view. We love food (both cooking and eating it), trying new things, and saying yes to experiences we haven’t had before. One of our favourite parts of travelling is meeting people from different backgrounds and learning how they see the world.
Before this trip, Tasmin worked in public health across Pacific Island countries. That experience shaped her a lot, it taught her to listen well, work respectfully with communities, and value practical, hands-on contributions. She care’s about conservation, sustainability, and communities that look after their environment and each other.
Declan worked in clinical trials research for oncological treatments. This experience taught him how precious life is and motivates him to get out of his comfort zone, learn new things and experience as much as life has to offer.
We are motivated by meaningful work, learning new skills, and being useful. We’re not afraid of getting our hands dirty, we’re tidy and considerate guests, and we bring a positive attitude (and a good sense of humour). -
