Description

Both -
We met at university and have been together for almost 5 years. We both love meeting new friendly people, eating unbelievable street food (or cooking it!) and taking in new cultures and perspectives on the world.

Most of our weekends are spent hanging out with friends either in a summer pub garden or exploring places in London. We especially love live music but can keep it wholesome at a museum or on a countryside walk.

We're both very outgoing and get our energy from our connections with people and our love of nature and animals.

Sarah -
I'm a fun-loving bubbly young woman who has been lucky enough to travel around a lot of South East Asia and Nepal. I've previously volunteered to research for 2 different charities in Nepal, one focused on education and the other on health. In the UK, my home country, I volunteer for a refugee charity in my spare time as a fundraiser.

I'm also on 200+ day-streak on Duolingo learning Spanish! I might not be able to have a conversation yet but I do know 1-10.

When I'm in a new country I usually start off with a city walking tour to get to know the area and then try to find the most local looking restaurant and eat the first thing I see that I don't recognise the name of.

Phil -
I've had experience travelling around a lot of Europe and solo backpacking across Central America. I love a challenge and get excited by meeting new people and trying out new things. I'm looking to become more engaged with charitable causes and have an interest in mental health charities, sports-led organisations and working with refugees.

I love playing tennis, bouldering and running. I also like to pick up new hobbies and have recently been trying out in-line skating.

I have a passion for music and I am self-taught on the guitar, the drums and I also enjoy singing. My go-to karaoke song is 'waiting for a star to fall'.

More details about your skills

Both me and my boyfriend are very fit and active, and we're happy to get stuck into exhausting work.

I've (Sarah) have had frontline experience working with people from remote communities in Nepal, young homeless shelters in the UK, dementia patients and with refugees. I have good people skills and work well with vulnerable people from all walks of life. My boyfriend has also supported me with my work with refugees.

I've also been working at a charity as a fundraiser for more than 4 years and can help with copywriting and funding applications.

My boyfriend is an electronics and software engineer. He is very practical and good at coming up with solutions to complex problems.

He's a good handyman and has helped his family with basic renovation skills when they bought a new home.

We've both grown up around animals and have a real love for dogs and cats.
