Description

Hi there! We are Matthew and Jess (28 and 26 yo) travelling around Australia as a couple. We love being in nature and meeting new people, and we'd love to learn more about sustainable agriculture practices. We are both honest, enthusiastic and hard-working people, keen to learn new skills and welcome new experiences. We're both strong and fit, happy to get our hands dirty and up to most challenges!

A bit about Jess: I grew up in the countryside surrounded by families with organic hobby farms, and have always been passionate about sustainability. After a few years of city living I'd love to get back into nature and learn more about farming, particularly growing fruits and veggies and keeping poultry. I love to cook nourishing veggie meals, yoga, reading, and knitting or crocheting in the sunshine.

A bit about Matt: I have always had an interest in working outdoors and very much enjoy physical labour or gardening. I love nature and animals, and I'd love to get away from the city for a bit! I exercise and work out often to keep fit and I will eat mostly anything. I am big into my music and would probably bring my guitar to practice quietly outside working hours. Other than that I would probably be reading or going for a hike/swim somewhere.
