Description

Hi! We’re Antonia and Marita, two friends from Croatia travelling together on a Working Holiday adventure in New Zealand. We’re an easy-going, friendly and reliable team who love meeting new people, learning new skills and getting involved wherever we can help.

We’ve worked in tourism and hospitality, so we’re used to being organised, hard-working and working with people from all over the world. We’re happy doing hands-on jobs like gardening, cleaning, cooking, helping with animals, or general maintenance — and we’re always keen to learn something new!

We’re hoping to find a welcoming farm or homestay where we can lend a hand and experience everyday Kiwi life in exchange for accommodation and great company. We’re looking for short stays (around 1–3 weeks) while we settle in and explore a bit of the country.

We love nature, animals, good food, and sharing stories over coffee after a day of work. We’re positive, respectful, and tidy guests who like to contribute and make things easier for our hosts.

We’re really looking forward to meeting new people, helping out, and making great memories in New Zealand! 😊
