Our next destination:
New Zealand - from Oct 2022 View allDescription
Hi,
*** BOTH FULLY VACCINATED *** CURRENTLY IN NEW ZEALAND ***
We are two adventure seekers! Travelling, reading and cooking are our biggest passions, all of which enable us to explore the world, learn and open our minds.
Our experience is a mixture of travels, odd jobs and ordinary ones. We are Italians but met in Ireland where Stefano lived for six years and me, after having lived briefly in the UK and over a year in Australia, for almost four.
We would like to learn more about farming and sustainable living. We are aiming to live as close as possible to nature, adjusting us to the natural cycles of things.
Alice is a beginner knitter and would like to learn how to sew.
Both of us would like to learn pottery making.Interests
