Activities we are interested in:
We are currently travelling across Asia and will return to the UK in April 2024 after many months! However we are looking for a new projects from October 2024 ideally within Latin America
Description
My husband (Rich) and I have a shared passion for travel and any new adventures! We are a British couple who have travelled pretty extensively together over the last 10+ years having visited over 50 countries.
We recently spent 1 year teaching English as a second language in Central Thailand (Suphanburi) where we fully immersed ourselves into the local culture to work and learn more from a different perspective.
I love, (and teach) Pilates, I am a qualified Personal Development Coach and have many years of experience in Human Resources and People Management from the Corporate world and have run my own business for the last 6+ years. Rich plays guitar, loves music, all nature and previously held professional roles in Sustainability, Laboratory Management and Forensic Science.
We love nothing more than meeting new people, exploring new places, new wildlife and trying new activities. In particular, we love swimming, walking, cats & dogs (and all animals) reading, eating and generally being open to see and experience new things.
We have been members of the platform called 'Trusted House Sitters' for many years and have received excellent 5* reviews for looking after pets and the homes of many hosts across the UK and Thailand if you need other feedback and references from their personal experience of us.

What else ...
We both love nature and that includes anything being outdoors as we are quite fit and active. We love walking (and have almost finished a big trek of the South West Coastal Path in the UK - 670 miles in total), running, swimming, exploring new bands/music, dancing, reading (both fiction and non-fiction), trying new foods! We love card and board games and have found its a great way to help the kids in Thailand learn English (both young and adult students). We like to have fun and believe we bring energy and enthusiasm for everything we do.
