Description

Hi people! We are a couple who decided to quit our jobs in Brighton, UK and travel. We are in pursuit of new adventures, amazing people and honestly just living a slower paced life, enjoying whatever the road will bring.

(Polina, 26) I am Russian, from Siberia, and have been living in the UK for 10 years. A lot of my time I spent living in an incredibly creative environment in London, exploring that side of myself, so my passions include but are absolutely not limited to: dance, cooking, crochet/painting/music (creative expression in all forms), long walks and beautiful views.

Due to my immigration status in the UK I have never been able to travel for more than one month at a time and have not felt the freedom of having

(Max, 28) I grew up in the UK near Brighton but have also been lucky enough to live in Australia for 5yrs in my early 20s. I have been a travel enthusiast for the last 10yrs, since my first trip long term to SE Asia.

I have been fortunate enough to purse many interests and curiosities of mine in the last decade working on farms (both small and large), helped & learnt about Super adobe building projects. I have trained Muay Thai in Northern Thailand and also experienced a few silent mediation retreats to a name a few highlights. I have many interests and values along these lines. (...)

Travel is important to me as it has encouraged me to be open to new ways of being and to learn from others new ways of doing things. I have been shown so much kindness and generosity from countless strangers in all imaginable situations over the years, this keeps me optimistic and hopeful. Bearing this all in mind, thats why I love to volunteer.
