Description

Hi!

We're Sam and Ellie - a couple from the North of England travelling round over 2023 and 2024!

Sam is a 27-year-old primary school teacher in Manchester, England. I live with my other half, Ellie, who I met at a summer camp in America. I LOVE teaching and working with children, but football is my lifelong passion. My teaching job gives me barely any time to myself, but when I do have spare time, I love getting outdoors, going on long walks, hikes or runs. I recently ran a half-marathon and I'm gearing up to run the big 26 miles in the near future (when I get the courage!). I am motivated by the pursuit of happiness, sharing experiences and experiencing new cultures.

Ellie is an experienced nursery manager and private nanny with years of relevant childcare and hospitality experience. She is a qualified primary school teacher. Ellie's favourite thing to do is read and spend time relaxing.

The two of us work brilliantly together as a team - we ran a 4* chalet in France for an entire Winter once.

We can't wait to get to know you more on our exchanges!
