CURRENT MISSION

Explore Central America, seeing what it is like from the locals! I don't have much of a plan at the moment so if you around the area feel free to get on contact and we could try and work something out!

ABOUT ME

I'm Yan or Ryan! I come from a little village in Devon Countryside, England. I had been working on an Organic farm in Devon, but the work has finished until spring, so have decided to come to Central America and enjoy some sun and meet lots of interesting people along the way!

I would like to practice my very basic Spanish, and learn some new skills and meet lots of people from Central America and further afield!

PHILOSOPHY

Just be yourself, be nice and do what you enjoy!
