Description
Hi all!
We are two 27-year-old best friends who quit our jobs and sold all of our belongings to backpack the world. We are both very open-minded, creative and adventurous people who enjoy learning new languages and trying new things. We're on the lookout for opportunities to give back to our mother earth, and build connections with people from whom we can learn about different cultures and perspectives.
