Rachel & Nick

We are a married couple and we are passionate about adventure, animals, and seeing the world. Together, we’ve lived in Cambodia, Australia, Mexico, Aotearoa New Zealand, and 5 different cities within Canada (our home country) - and we’ve dedicated our lives to exploring our beautiful earth.

We are animal lovers by nature, we make an effort to live sustainably where we can - by limiting our waste and eating plant-based, although Nick grew up on a farm and we have plenty of experience with farm animals as well. We have the most fun when surrounded by the great outdoors, we love hiking, exploring, and cooking.

While we want to one day have pets of our own, we are currently too in love with our nomadic lifestyle and feel as though it may be a few more years until we are ready for our own. That said, we have many years of experience with both house sitting and taking care of family pets.

We are tidy and quiet and are often happy just sitting by a window with our laptops.

Currently: we are living in New Zealand for 2024.
