Description
Hi! We are a couple from Northern Scotland, currently travelling for a year, exploring and learning new skills.

Reatha - I am a recent psychology graduate (undergrad) with experience working with children and young people in both play and educational settings. Although I haven't travelled extensively, I had the amazing opportunity to visit Mongolia last summer for a month! This was where I had my first taste of volunteering for an organisation. Hobby-wise, I enjoy various fibrecrafts and perform dance.

Oakley - I am a Mechanical Engineer, though looking to explore other career options. I love old things, namely old cameras and everything photography. I love the outdoors and getting hands on. I have a good general knowledge when it comes to DIY from woodwork to wiring. I also enjoy speaking to different people and learning about different cultures.

Our experience with Reatha and Oakley was amazing. A pair of extraordinary young people. We managed to do many things together. I also managed to improve my communication skills in English. They are intelligent young people with great working abilities always ready to learn something new.

Fantastic hosts, extremely warm and welcoming. We felt like part of the family and we did everything as a team. They were very interested in sharing and learning about different culture.
