Hello! I'm Ryne Tucker and I am an English teacher at G.P.S. Matamaka in Vava'u, Tonga. My home is about an hour boat ride from neiafu. I live with my dog Palaku (means ugly in Tongan).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Where I live is so beautiful, it would be a crime not to let others experience it as well. Plus as a volunteer I know what it's like to want to see the world but have no money.

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock n roll, blues, game of thrones, mystery novels

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been in Tonga for a year now and know much about the language and culture. I'm trying to learn to sail, I can cook, and I love jamming out with people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have two hammocks indoors and a tent, plus a field that's perfect for star gazing. There's a guitar and harmonica, a view right on the water, and extra snorkel masks to check out the coral reef!

I live off solar power, so there are no fridges, no shower (bucket bath only), and only one outlet to charge phones.
