Description
Hi!

We are Grace and Lauren, a couple living in the south of England, that want to get back to basics :)

We've been living and working in Brighton for the last few years and we are craving a simpler lifestyle. Lauren is taking a career break from midwifery due to the stress of working through the pandemic.

We're excited to reconnect with the outdoors, ourselves, and other people whilst learning some new skills along the way.

We'd especially be interested in projects that veer towards sustainable living and living off-grid.

We love the outdoors, we hike and camp, and can be found lounging by any large body of water, worn out by swimming :)

Wow where do I start praising these two amazing workawayers. Lauren and Grace were an absolute joy to have stay with us. They are positive, independent and hard working with fantastic personalities.

Grace and Lauren were fantastic. Positive attitude, keen to learn and able to take initiative and use common sense whatever task they approached. Energetic and adaptable, they were brilliant with our boisterous kids and menagerie of animals, and we felt totally comfortable trusting them to take care of our farm. Extra credit for their "mad skillz"… read more

We had the most incredible experience with these guys that we'll never forget. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer than 4 weeks! We left this morning and we already miss Mads, Nick, the boys, and the animals!

They picked us up from the bus stop in the evening rain, welcomed us with a delicious meal and instantly we felt at home. The… read more

Grace came to me shortly after our first contact, and she would stay for 2 weeks.
