Description

We are a family of five from New Zealand that loves adventures. Before having our children, Waz and Wendy have lived in five countries and now we want to share our passion for meeting amazing people, different cultures and places with our three daughters (13, 11 - twins). We love to share our skills, our numerous life stories and adventures with those we meet around the globe whilst having fun. We are flexible and adaptable to change, having lived through many challenges during our life. We value integrity, honesty, empathy for others and work hard. We are self starters doing our best for our family and community.
