  • Description

    We are a couple backpacking our way through SouthEast Asia. Each of us has our own online teaching jobs that help keep us afloat from city to city. We enjoy nature, music, art and meeting new people. Luckily, we get all of these things by traveling and have been especially enjoying taking part in WorkAway programs that allow us to give back to the communities we visit.
    Shmoo is a trained musician from America while Esra studied in Turkey to be an English teacher. We are able to contribute through our music, our art, teaching you and/or locals, and some manual labor. Cultural exchange is a deep fascination. Anything you would like to teach us, we would like to learn. And, of course, we would Love to cook a few meals that show off each of our home town cuisines - Kansas BBQ and Turkish food.

  • More details about your skills

    Esra:
    I am an experienced teacher and arts and crafts leader. I have prior experience being a cultural ambassador and love to share my language as well as food native to Turkey. At the moment I am learning Spanish and am interested in learning more languages.

    I have experience creating and curating a digital presence for businesses (marketing) and can help you with yours. After college I volunteered for hostels and local schools in multiple communities as part of my European volunteer service and made a mural as well as videos promoting their program and city ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0_0w5JSE1s and
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzZ6Gr6It9k ). We also arranged hostel events and took travelers on pub crawls as well as kept up the general maintenance of the hostel, including making reservations and cleaning. In America I taught Turkish at a state university and back in Turkey I was the school principal at a private pre-primary school. I designed weekly curriculums and supervised the teachers that implemented them.

    Shmoo:
    I am a graphic designer, trained musician and experienced performer, tutor and jam session leader. I teach English online and have students from throughout the world. Growing up, I earned my Eagle scout and learned how to camp and cook outside. One of my passions is BBQ and I always appreciate the chance to smoke some Kansas City style meat.

    I also have experience supervising and leading meetings, having been a supervisor at UPS in Kansas. While traveling I have started an amateur Youtube channel about our travels and the countries that we go through that you would be able to follow. I am an artist and have developed and designed my own Tarot deck and have created logos and food menus for various hosts.
