Description

Kia ora, we are Pj (British) and Corben (Kiwi), on an extended travel around the world!
We're excited to experience different cultures and environments, learn new skills and help people on some fun projects. We love meeting new people and experiencing new lifestyles.

We're both eager to help with whatever is needed, and learn more about living in ways outside the norm.
Corben has been working as a builder for the past few years, building passive eco-houses (lime, clay, straw, earth) in New Zealand, so he's especially keen to help with any building projects. He also has lots of experience in tourism, with various tour guide jobs under his belt. Corben has completed advanced first aid training and has spent many hours operating machinery so is able to help with those sorts of jobs.
Pj has been to workaways in Portugal, Greece and Nepal, and spent a year running a workaway on a boat in New Zealand, so knows how the culture works and is excited to contribute further. She worked in conservation for the past couple of years, gaining experience planting and weeding and getting a chainsaw ticket. She also has plenty of experience in customer service.
We are both accustomed to physical outdoor labour, are practical-minded and love arty building projects. We recently built a large wooden art project for a festival and loved it! We both enjoy cooking and recently volunteered at a festival kitchen, spending a few weeks cooking for over 100 people.

Thanks for reading our profile, perhaps we may see you soon!
