Description

Hey guys! We are a married couple in our thirties, a nurse and teacher(futbol coach) by trade, but we left all that behind in 2020. We are ESL teachers as well and avid travelers, professional travel writers, and amateur YouTube video makers. We have a passion for learning and participating in different cultures as we wander. There's just something super beautiful about each and every people group, and we are out to meet them all! We have spent the last 14 years travelling, volunteering, mission-type work, and of course vacation as well, and our favorite thing about travel is just connecting with people across the world whose lives, food, cultures, and thought processes are totally different than our own. It somehow makes this huge world feel small. We have friends from a little bit of everywhere, but there's always room for more right? We just love meeting good people. We are from Arkansas, which is in the South of the US. I'm a painter and woodworker on the side. The hubs is a sports enthusiast. We love outdoor adventures, new things, healthy food, dinner conversations, lots of laughter, and learning about other people's passions!

More details about your skills

WE got skillz!
Ryan: teacher K-12- specializes in health and history. He is also a futbol coach can help the kiddos with their skills. Has experience with lawn care and general handyman stuff. We have remodeled 3 homes together, so we have some skill in most areas of home maintenance.
Abby- amateur artist, designer, and woodworker. I love to paint and design. Again, lots of home remodel and restructuring experience. We have done a little of everything in that realm. Typically I design the things. He does the demolition, and then we reconstruct the new beautiful things together! I have an ESL certificate as well, so can help with English if needed. We both have experience with teaching children from ages 2-18. I worked as a pediatric nurse and before that a preschool teacher for 6 years. We have been running our own smaller YouTube and social media channels for about 3 years now, so we can help with filming of social media marketing if needed. We some very basic website editing skills and Abby has a an eye for design. You might say we're jacks of all trades and masters of none. We are from the south, where it is pretty much a requirement to have done at least some farm work in your life. We are by no means professionals, but sure don't mind to get dirty and learn.

Unfortunately, Americans are super bad about knowing any other languages. We blame it on the Isolation over here ( and our school system, but it is getting better :). We speak a tiny of amount of bad Spanish and can say "Where is the bathroom in several languages." That's about it, but we always try to learn and use the appropriate language when we travel. We definitely want to learn!
