Description
My name is Jo! Me and my Husband (Ross) became part of the work away community in 2018 when we spent 6 months exploring parts of the world together. We both love travelling and love the idea of using workaway so that we can get to know different areas and cultures off the beaten track.

A little about us -

I'm Jo! I moved to Scotland to from Yorkshire to study Art and quickly Edinburgh became home. Since graduating from Art school I trained as a florist and have worked in Flower shops, as a freelance wedding Florist and in gardening Groups with people with learning disabilities. I have continued to study and trained to be a Learning disability nurse and art therapist I love working with people and I am passionate about what I do, I am hard worker and happy to try my hand at most things, this has been clear looking at the wide range of part time jobs I have had through out my studies. Working Front of House at a Theatre in Edinburgh is where Ross and I met almost 10 years ago. Ross has worked in theatre for over 15 years and now has a wealth of technical knowledge and skills. Ross made the leap to train in stage management and technical theatre after working in computer programming in a previous life. Ross works with international visiting companies and loves getting to know people from all walks of life. Along with using his practical skills , Ross' job also involves him actively taking a lead in teaching young people about technical theatre.

We are looking forward to getting to know Hosts on our adventure and learn new skills.

Jo and Ross are amazing people. They stayed with us 2 weeks, but really we are very grateful because them together with other workawayers helped to finish a big part of our project. In all general things that we have they always were very king to help. Unfortunately it was short time, but you are always welcome.

We stayed with Dagny and Matthias at the end of 2018. Sorry it has taken so long to write about our experience.

Our time at Burgliebenau was at the beginning of our 6 month travels and it was the perfect way to start our adventure. Dagny and Matthias both made us feel very welcome. They have very big hearts and lots of knowledge to share with us… read more

Chiayu and Rob were very welcoming hosts. We both got so much out of our short stay with them. Their piece of land is set in magical mountain side, like no where we have been before. By the time our 2 weeks were up we had become accustomed to our temporary home. Chiayu spent a great deal of time making us feel welcome and getting to know us while… read more

Jo and Ross were wonderful to work with. They were enthusiastic helpers and very good at communicating what work they enjoyed the most. It was easy to find work for them to put themselves into. They have led interesting lives and were good to talk to as well. Really fun to be with. We would love to have them back!
