Description
Hello everyone! We are a UK couple (M34 and F28) from England and Scotland who have a huge passion for travelling, meeting new people and learning new skills.

We would be happy to work and volunteer in a wide variety of different roles, not limited to; Any type of hostel work and general day to day maintenance, sports and fitness coaching and development, animal rescue, all types of outdoor work, farming etc, as well as teaching and education.

Between us we have worked and volunteered within a wide range of different industries varying from sales and retail to bar work and within most areas of hospitality. We also have over 10 years of collective experience of teaching English as a second language in South East Asia.

Between us we have a fantastic work ethic and are both very motivated and compassionate people who are looking forward to meeting you and sharing cultural exchanges.
Please get in touch! We can't wait to meet you and very much look forward to creating amazing new experiences!

More details about your skills
We consider ourselves extremely outgoing, friendly, empathetic and considerate people. We always look for the best in people and enjoy listening to people's stories and getting to know them.

We have over ten years of collective experience in teaching English as a second language so have developed a natural aptitude for communicating and teaching children.

A huge passion for Felix is football and other competitive sports. Anything physical is where he excels. Emma is very creative and inventive and able to adapt to different situations.

We are both incredibly social and always looking to expand our knowledge and learn about new things.

Johnson is a fantastic host who I really enjoyed volunteering for. I only intended to stay for a week or so but ended up staying for about 3 weeks in total! He creates a lovely atmosphere to work in and makes it very hard to leave! He was able to sort out a trip to the backwaters for me and put me in contact with his friend where I could play… read more
