Description
We're Rosanna and Darren. An easy going couple looking for adventure and to meet new people.
Really excited to start travelling and to learn new skills. Very interested in living sustainably such as; growing food, living of the land, fending for ourselves, working with animals, building shelter and creating with what is available.
We love exploring new places, immersing ourselves into new cultures and different ways of life.
Happy to help out as much as we can and get involved in all kinds of work having lots of fun along the way!

Autres infos...
Darren - I'm really keen on learning skills that work with the environment. Such as bush craft and any sustainable ways of living. I love animals... all of them. Working with animals is something I enjoy a lot. Be it training and/or caring for them. Learning as much as I can about nature and living along side it is a great passion of mine.
Rosanna - I'm hoping to both learn and share skills or ideas with everyone we meet. I'm passionate about reusing, up cycling and re purposing objects, textiles and inanimate objects. Would love to be involved with small projects, help build or repair things and other creative endeavours.

Staying at Josipa and Simone's place was amazing. They themselves are great and their dream for their land is very cool. They are a fun couple to be around. Often joking and easy going. Their ideas for the future are very similar to mine and it was great talking with them about lots of different ways for a sustainable life. The place they have is… read more

We were very happy with Darren. He is an interesting individual, fun to be around, relaxed, but a serious worker. He would choose the hardest jobs from the to-do list, and wouldn't mind doing them in the strongest sun (that's the secret of his awesome tan!). We shared a passion for sweets. There was a lot of joking and laughter, and we had some… read more

It was bloody great staying with Una, Chris and all their weird and wonderful dogs! In the end I think I stayed there a month and the whole time I felt welcomed and valued. They put me up in an amazing guest house of theirs with everything I could ever ask for. Felt like 5 star accommodation with its awesome balcony and sweet views all across the… read more

Darren was hilarious, and very willing to pitch in. He was interesting and intelligent to chat to, gave us some excellent I.T. support, was in with our flexible hours and a no-trouble house guest. Darren helped us remove storm felled trees that collapsed on the boundary and saw them up for firewood, he helped render a wall, move sand and stone,… read more

This place with a large pack of dogs, a herd of horses, countless chickens and a couple mental Brits in the middle of two small villages beside a mountain range was... pretty damn good. These blinking nutters were extremely accommodating, making me feel at home instantly. Amelia and Mick are super easy going and a great laugh. The dogs and horses… read more

Terry, Emily, Fred and Brenda were great hosts. There place is amazing. Stunning views. We loved the history behind their patch of paradise! We stayed in our own house while being there and it was more than we could have asked for. Either Terry and Emily or Fred and Brenda would have us over for dinner. There was always an amazing meal to be had.… read more

Darren & Rosanna stayed with us for just over 2 weeks. We loved having them here & found them to be easy-going, fun & sociable. They just fitted in as part of the family, which is what we like. They worked hard - even on our earth-house brick pouring, which is pretty heavy going, they kept smiling & went hard at it! Excellent work guys - would… read more
