We are Rebecca and Tom, a couple from the UK currently travelling around SE Asia. We are completely new to Couchsurfing but we’ve heard great stories from friends we’ve met on our travels, so we’re excited to give it a go! We are outgoing and love meeting new people from all over the world, learning about their unique lives and cultures. We believe that you can learn something from every person you meet. Spending time living and volunteering in a small village in Northern Thailand has really enriched our travelling experience, and now we would like to try staying with some locals and expats, sharing skills and interests. We’re looking forward to meeting some new faces on the next part of our journey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We hope Couchsurfing will give us the opportunity to experience living more like locals in the places we visit - and to make a few new friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Our first teaching experience, with an amazing group of kids in Thailand. It was incredibly rewarding teaching English through activities and play; we learnt a lot from them, and had a lot of fun too!

Teach, Learn, Share

We’d love to help anyone who wants to improve their English through conversation - or more formally if they want to. We enjoy cooking and could share some of our favourite vegetarian recipes. Equally we’d be interested in learning to make some local dishes. We’re both creative and we like drawing, playing guitar, writing and design.
