Description
Hi, we are Caroline and Leigh and are qualified EFL teachers.
Leigh is an experienced handy man, simple carpentry, general repairs and property maintenance.
Caroline volunteers with a local charity helping people in the community with addictions .
Caroline has also volunteered for Women's Aid, working with vulnerable women.
Previously Caroline has spent a few weeks in Colombia teaching English in a family home. We have both volunteered in a local school in Nepal, Caroline teaching English and Leigh did a little teaching, but mostly used his handy man skills as many things needed repair with little or no resources.
we have both also taught English conversation in both Laos and Thailand.

In addition to teaching English, we have a wealth of experience in the hospitality industry from hotel management, banqueting, catering for large numbers to bar work.
Caroline is a qualified and experienced reflexologist and Reiki master, loves yoga and meditation and cares passionately about the environment.
Leigh is a versatile handyman, for example wall building, basic plumbing/electrical work and general household maintenance, and likes cycling and keeping fit.
We have travelled extensively, particularly in South East Asia and are interested in, and respectful of, all beliefs and cultures.
We are 64 and 69 are adventurous, quite laid back and always open to new experiences.
