Who Are We?

Who Are We?

We are Todd and Mairin - after an adult gap year full of backpacking SE Asia and living in a campervan for seven months touring around Europe, we decided to try a permanent life abroad. Since then, we have lived and taught English in Vietnam, made the transition to online teaching, housesat in eight different countries, and lived in Albania for a year. We are approaching eight years abroad now! We love local history, hiking in the mountains, and lazing by the beach to catch sunsets.

Where are We?
