Descrição
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.
