Description

We are a couple from Denmark, Jakob and Amalie, travelling around New Zealand for a year while on our Working Holiday Visa. Our next destination after NZ is French Polynesia and we are searching for a place to WorkAway!

About us:
Amalie (28) is a nurse back in Denmark. Jakob (26) is a cabinet maker and have his own company back home. We have been in NZ since November.
We are both outdoor enthusiasts! We love to rock climb and are into fishing, spearfishing, SUP boarding and tramping.

What we can offer and what we seek:
We see ourselves as optimistic, curious and enthusiastic people. We both have a good work moral and are eager to try new stuff or do work we are already good at. We both love hanging out with kids since Amalie is a paediatric nurse and Jakob a scout leader.

We are dreaming about working with animals, doing and learning new tasks, doing woodworking and are open to everything in between. We hope to learn about Polynesian/ Tahitian culture, basics of permaculture, farm-tasks, boat-work and just settle down for a short while during our travels.

We are both vegetarian except if Jakob catches fish while spearfishing and are not picky!

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you think we would fit into your home and we would love to have a chat with you if possible and get to know each other.

Hope to hear from you!

Best Amalie and Jakob
