CURRENT MISSION

To have a better understanding of the world.

ABOUT ME

We are a pair of friends living in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. We are looking to host people from all over the world. Gai has been living in Ubon for his whole life and Jill has been living between America and Thailand for the past four years.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live everyday as if it is going to be your last."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are looking to host all sorts of people. We can offer a wide range of activities for our guests. We have connections with local schools and local non-profits. Gai and Jill are both experts about Ubon Ratchathani city and the province. If hanging out with local people is what you are looking for, then you have found your hosts!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time that Jill came to Thailand was also her first CouchSurfing Experience. She participated in a Homestay program in a small village near the Mekong River. Because of the kindness of the people that she stayed with, she has been coming back to Thailand ever since then.

Interests

We are both interested in so many things! We are willing to try anything, at least once. Together, we enjoy talking with friends on the internet, going dancing at night, and volunteering with local non-profits. Gai is very interested in learning English and learning about other cultures. Jill is also interested in learning about other cultures and wants to help to improve the lives of children.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All of our amazing experiences involve traveling. Gai traveled to Laos for the first time this past year. Jill has traveled to Thailand, Greece, Cambodia, Laos, and Brazil. All of these experiences were amazing because of the people that we met along the way!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are looking for an opportunity to be a volunteer teacher in Thailand, Jill is the perfect person to talk with. She has taught English at both a high school and an elementary school. Gai and Jill can help to arrange a volunteer position for you, as well as offer advice about fun games and activities to play with your students.
