Descripción

Hello! 👋🏼

We are Michelle and Andrew, a couple from Scotland who have been together five years 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Having graduated in Psychology (Michelle) and International Marketing (Andrew) we have spent time travelling through New Zealand and Australia, and used Workaway as a way to connect.

We both love people, good food and the outdoors, open water swimming (yes - it is FREEZING in the sea in Scotland!!!), nature, the sky, hiking and animals (we have two family dogs). For the past 4 years we have been social media free — we prefer real conversations and getting involved with what’s in front of us, appreciating it and making special memories. We would love to live a life which is slow and rewarding without all of the pressures of media and busy society.

What we bring:
* We work well as a team and independently - we are great leaders too having led teams at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo for 5 years.
* Reliable, organised, flexible and adaptable
* Creative
* Used to long hours on our feet having worked in Military show events for five years (10hours per day 6 days a week)
* Strong organisation, communication and people skills
* Experience working with children (including special needs) - Michelle as a teaching assistant and Andrew as a sports coach - also done plenty of years experience with childcare
* Experience with pet care and dog walking, as well as house sitting
* Love to volunteer - helped with fundraisers, charity work and conservation work
* We love cooking and would love to share and exchange some recipes
* We are trustworthy, respectful of others’ space, sociable when it suits and independent when needed.
*Some experience in a fast paced cafe - serving customers, preparing food, kitchen work and cleaning
*Experience working on a hobby farm - making biochar, splitting and stacking wood (with axe and machine), planting, weeding, organising tools, brushcutting, digging holes and trenches for drainage systems, preserving food, cleared forest areas, fruit and vegetable picking.
*Able to work on tills - both have experience in busy shops
*Able to communicate well with others - have lots of experience working with members of the public and high end, VIP customers - as well as liaising with premium brands.

We are hardworking, easy-going, positive, and excited by the chance to gain new skills, meet people and have experiences outside our comfort zone - learning through doing is a big reason we started to travel😊
