Description
Hello, we are a couple taking a sabbatical to travel. We have been living and studying in London for the past 10 years and are taking some time out to consider our next steps, learn some new skills, and reconnect with our sense of adventure.
Meg is an architect, artist, and lecturer specialising in public engagement, sustainable building and retrofit.
Ollie is a furniture designer and builder specialising in circular design and modern fabrication techniques.
Over the past few months travelling and volunteering through WWOOF and Workaway we have deepened our interest in permaculture and natural building techniques - both themes we'd love to explore more deeply. So far, we have built a solar shower out of disused fencing, a kitchen from ancestral timber, fed and cared for a whole menagerie of animals and worked at weeding, planting and harvesting in various gardens. Moving forward, we are particularly interested in learning more about earth building, working with bamboo, traditional carpentry and seed saving techniques.
We have heard of so many fantastic experiences from friends and the wider Workaway community.
We are excited to share our experiences and skills, gain new ones, make new friends, and learn how to better contribute to the conversation around sustainable building and land management.
We both love the outdoors and grew up rurally, and are excited to reconnect with the landscape.
