Travel information

We are currently

Description

We are on a long Latin America travel and live for new cultures and experiences. Between us we have a lot of experience in professional work and traveling and are keen to use and pass on this lived knowledge to help all future hosts and travellers wherever we help out!
One of our true pleasures is giving back to the community we find ourselves in.

We are very open minded and flexible, and we can easily fit into most situations and circumstances.
We like to live and eat healthy and don't drink or smoke.

Dan can build things, particularly in wood and takes huge pleasure in creativity and practical things. Photos, Film, Music, Art, Woodwork, Writing, etc...

Yachi is a great cook and has that Japanese politeness efficiency and professionalism in any office, reception environment.

We enjoy meeting new people, so we love being face to face with customers and visitors and fellow travellers. (Worked in the Holiday & Medical businesses)

We both love live music and enjoy reading widely. We are happy people.

Dan enjoys all activities and sports from swimming, running, hiking/walking, cycling, snowboarding, Wake Boarding and wild camping/bushcraft. And is always keen to try more! Also, I'd love to properly learn to surf and ride horses this year!

Yachi's passion is to learn new languages. Also travel and meeting new people. She's worked as a volunteer in India while home staying and later home stayed in the UK before she could even speak any english! Throwing herself in to the local language and way of life. She enjoys day hikes/walks and adventures. She loves food too!!!
