Beschreibung

We’re Brettt and Kiana — an adventurous, grounded, and capable couple from the Reno–Tahoe area who feel most alive when we’re learning, exploring, and connecting with people and place.

Travel for us isn’t about checking boxes — it’s about meaningful cultural exchange, shared meals, stories, nature, and contributing in ways that truly help. We’re both physically fit, hardworking, and genuinely enjoy staying active and being outdoors. Whether it’s gardening, building projects, animal care, land stewardship, or helping with daily tasks, we’re happy to jump in wherever we’re needed.

Brettt is a professional boat captain with a fun disposition and years of hands-on experience. He’s calm under pressure, practical, and great with people, a performance artist, a nature guide, and anything involving water sports. His gift is his ability to just be in the moment and embody a child-like curiosity.

Kiana is a bodyworker and intuitive healer with a background in wellness, care work, and creating supportive environments. She brings a nurturing presence, strong communication skills, and experience in hospitality-style settings where attention to detail and emotional intelligence matter. She’s also happy helping with cooking, organizing, gardening, or guest support. In addition to traveling, she loves attending Ecstaic dance, Kirtan and other embodiment practices. She is aligned to the teachings of Sri Aurobindo.

Together, we’re respectful, adaptable, and easy to live with. We value clear communication, shared purpose, and being part of a team. We’re especially drawn to opportunities that allow us to connect with local culture, history, art, and the natural world — farms, eco-projects, community spaces, retreat centers, and family-run homesteads all feel aligned.

We travel with open minds, good energy, and a sincere desire to contribute more than we take. We’re excited to learn from you, share our skills, and be part of something meaningful during our stay.
