Kevin and I both grew up in New Zealand, surrounded by nature. We are both happiest when we are playing sport, being outdoors and meeting new people. We also really enjoy DIY and gardening.

We are travelling around Europe until October, before we permanently settle down in France. Kevin is fluent in both English and French, while I am fluent in English and am beginning to learn French.

Ekaterina a passé un séjour workaway ! Discrète au premier abord, elle s'est révélée être une personne agréable et disponible. Sa motivation et son dynamisme sont un atout.
Sportive et pleine d'entrain, elle a participé avec enthousiasme à toutes les tâches.
Un grand merci pour ton implication et ta bienveillance pour les enfants.
