Descrição
Hello and thank you for looking at our profile.
We are a happy enthusiastic couple who are seeking to discover new locations whilst working with like minded people.
Our plan is to travel through the UK during April and May before heading to Switzerland, via Belgium, Germany and Austria before returning to the UK during September 2024. We will be using our own car to travel.
We are outdoorsy types who love to go travelling to experience the new locations, people and culture in a none tourist environment. We often go ad hoc hiking and camping in lesser populated areas.
We are both non smokers, physically fit, hardworking and have been known to turn our hand to many new tasks and challenges.
Between us we are able to offer skills that include:
House sitting
animal care
assistance with I.T.
interior and exterior painting
garden maintenance / land maintenance
Pond clearance / maintenance
Path construction / ground clearance
woodworking / DIY
labouring
basic limited cooking
up-cycling furniture
simple sewing
We are both competent using a wide selection of hand tools.
We are hard workers who also have an interest in creative arts. Between us we can artistically weld, complete mosaics, paint pretty things, and make useful items.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Samantha & Alan

Alan and Samantha came in October to help clean out our very overgrown pond, though in fact they did all the work as I'd sustained a knee injury.
They stood in the mud and emptied the pond of countless buckets of… read more
