Description
Hi, we're Emily and Leanne. We're a couple who thrive on adventure, whilst at home we've managed to maintain our love of travelling through trips abroad and getting out in our campervan most weekends. Emily is a youth mentor working for the charitable arm of Saracens Rugby Club. Leanne is a Project Manager specialising in change management and organisational development. We both love to be outdoors, SUPing, cooking, hiking, laying in a hammock. We don't mind getting our hands dirty and love a good hard days graft with a sense of achievement at the end. We've taken on many DIY projects over the years and can turn our hands and most things especially after a little Google or as an apprentice for a more experienced set of hands.

To all the hosts out there... if Emily applies to stay with you, definitely host her! She is a wonderful, self-motivated, competent, friendly, sociable, diligent, reliable and trustworthy volunteer.

I have had the BEST time with these amazing, kind and welcoming people (and animals). I spent all of December and into the New Year with these guys and got to meet their family and friends, who welcomed me in like I was part of the family.

Staying with Ian and Lucy and their family for a month in October was the perfect start to my workaway journey and my 6 months of travelling. They took me in so quickly and made me feel at home. I was given an apartment to myself which was wonderful for my free time, it was beautifully designed and finished and had everything I needed. The use of… read more
