Activities we are interested in:

heyy :) We are Jolanthe and Mia (19 and 18 yo) and we are travelling through Southeast Asia together!! :)) Our next destination is Thailand where we will be staying from mid January...

Description

We have both always dreamt of taking a gap year and now the time has come! After travelling our homecountry Germany together, we realized that we get along really well and naturally decided that we wanted to experience a greater & more challenging adventure together as well....soon after we made the plan to travel abroad through Asia for about half a year. We both have experiences with travelling, especially in European countries, however, this is our first time going on such a long trip.
We are currently already travelling and our next destination is Thailand, where we will be staying from mid January 2024.
We are looking forward to gaining some fresh perspectives, getting to know great people, figuring out our own abilities as well as learning about different cultures and facing new challenges in the coming months... :)

More details about my language interests
We did our Abitur this year in Bavaria (Germany) and English was one of our Abitur subjects. We are therefore both fluent in English and could even offer to do some teaching, whether it is for learning German or English. Of course, we are both very interested in learning new languages ourselves as well.
