Description
Hello, I'm Stephen, I'm an easy-going adventurous soul who particularly enjoys trekking and can be seen on the trail with a big smile on his face.
I'm probably older than the average volunteer at 46, and I have given up a career 3 years ago to concentrate on more hands on work, helping friends with building and decorating work. After spending time trekking in Nepal, I'm really looking forward to being much more involved in local culture, and having more of a purpose. Thank you for reading!

Kleuw and Isaac's home is a wonderful place just outside of Pai, it's far enough away that if you go to a local restaurant there's likely to only be locals there, but close enough to Pai to enjoy the nightlife and markets.
