Description

Hi! We are Elle and Nick, an engaged couple taking a year (or two) out from work to meet new people and see the world.
Elle is Australian, Nick is English, and we met in France just over 8 years ago. We love travelling, food (cooking and eating!) and getting into nature. We're looking forward to workaway experiences where we can learn new skills, get to know our hosts, and show us the local life of new places. We're both active and hardworking - very happy to take on some physical work and kick back for a chat at the end of the day.
Over the last year we have done done five workaways. The first three were in England, one doing housework and gardening, one on a small holding farm, and the last doing more hands-on garden jobs like welding. The fourth we did was in France where we worked as part of a harvest team on a vineyard, and the fifth was in Italy on an olive-harvest team.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

We are both hardworking and reasonably handy people, keen to use our existing skills and learn new ones as we go!

We don't have trades, but have undertaken many minor handy tasks around our homes, and in friends and relatives homes. Jobs we've done include things like room painting, minor plumbing (fixing leaks!), fixing curtain rails, mending cabinetry and furniture, sanding and varnishing wood furniture, putting up shelves, and so on. One of our big projects was turning our van from an old trade van into a camper that we lived in for most of 2021/22!

We have loved every one of our workaway experiences - they have taught us so many different things and introduced us to lots of amazing people. Some of the things we’ve done include: building fruit cages, chopping wood, caring for poultry, pruning trees, planting and staking new trees, beekeeping, general garden maintenance such as weeding, edging and mulching garden beds, painting, welding, harvesting crops, and cleaning machinery.

We're both relatively tech-savvy and are happy to help with computers, websites and social media. We both finished university a few years ago, Nick in Economics and Elle in Business and Creative Writing. Nick speaks some French and Elle is learning (getting there!).
