Description

Hi, Penny and Jan here.
Having both quit our full-time UK desk jobs in February we have spent the past few months fulfilling a lifelong dream travelling around southeast Asia.

We love discovering new places, meeting interesting people and experiencing different cultures. Whilst we have done all of the above over the past few months backpacking we would love the opportunity to step off the tourist path and see more of the world from a different perspective; learning new languages, trying different types of jobs, developing new skills and hopefully forming great friendships.

Autres infos...

Having spent the last 2 years largely behind a laptop we are both hungry to get our hands dirty and hopefully work outside with people as this is our happy place.
We love art and being creative!

Penny - “I’m my happiest with a pair of goggles on swimming, getting lost in a book and making stuff”
Jan - “I love music, design and sports, particularly football and F1!”
