CURRENT MISSION

To gain a wider appreciation of the wider world.

ABOUT ME

We are a young couple currently based in Bretagne. We are a fun-loving and adventurous couple who enjoy exploring new cultures and histories. We would both love to learn and teach our language skills, and hopefully to meet some unforgettable people on our adventures.

We are both extremely hard-working, honest and reliable, and look forward to meeting you!
