CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of Canada, New Zealand and Australia as our English feet can handle

ABOUT ME

We are a couple from the UK, we've been married for 3 years and decided before we do the whole kids and nest thing we would enjoy just seeing the world! Laura (the wife) was a nanny and has been working in a coffee shop in Auckland and I (Jay) ran youth projects funded by the Church for the past five years and have been working in a pub up till now.We love meeting people and seeing new things. So far we have seen the Spain, East coast of America, drove across the whole of Canada, spent a week in San Francisco, driven down from Cape Reigna, lived and worked in Auckland and are now just about to set off on our final big bit of travel in NZ to see the south. We are hoping to meet some lovely people to and find some vineyards to work to support our travels.

PHILOSOPHY

(Jay) I love helping people. I believe that life is all about sharing with others and showing love to those that need it. Which is all of us really. We are Christians and believe the world is a beautiful place and that we can learn so much from listening to peoples stories.

(Laura) Same as Jay really!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

(Jay) Well my degree is a two part degree. Firstly in youth and community and I also studied theology alongside that. So I guess if people want to talk about the big questions I am always up for a chat. I'm not interested in making people think like me though, I'd rather be part of someones journey then hijack it. (Laura) Well I have worked with Children...since I was a child. I've ran groups for 3-5's and nannied for many families with a range of Children. The most was 3 families and 9 children in total. So if people want to learn a bit about dealing with the terrible two's etc I may have some thoughts :)We'd love to learn how to make Wine and Beer, just because it seems fun.
