Description

Hey everyone :) My name is Iona and the beautiful man with me is my boyfriend Jamie. We are travelling around south east Asia for a few months and we are loving it.

Jamie has been here a couple of times and really loved it which is why we're back. This is Iona’s first time out here and we have both fallen in love with Asia.

We love meeting local people and experiencing new cultures and are excited to do the same here. We have been in Thailand for a month and are now in Cambodia.
We would love to share the experience with local people whether it be staying at your place and sharing a meal, supporting your prjoect or meeting for coffee and walking around the local area.

We are both open minded and love trying new experiences.
Love to travel and try new foods, maybe not scorpions though haha.

We are both creative as well as practical with Iona having hospitality and arts experience and Jamie being a builder and musician.
We are passionate about culture, history, the natural world, yoga and arts. We love to get stuck into projects and communities and we find this keeps a healthy body and mind as well as an open heart.

More details about your skills

Iona: I have 18 years experience in hospitality from running cafes, bars, restaurants and events organising. I LOVE to host people and help them to have the best experience they
can. I am also an artist working in a wide variety of mediums from painting to leather craft. This is my true passion and therapy and I love to share the joy of creating with others.
I also have experience in housekeeping having helped to run a few holiday homes while growing up in the busy tourist hub of Cornwall.
Jamie: I have been working in construction for 15 years, I'm a fully qualified bricklayer but also have experience in carpentry, painting, plastering and landscaping. I love working outdoors and have lived and worked in Australia so also don't mind getting on with it in the heat. I have also travelled for long periods of time and love meeting new people and helping people out. I've also worked in hospitality and front of house which I enjoy. I play guitar and love having a chill play around the fire at night or in the day.
