Description

Hi! Kia ora! Moi! :)
My name is Esmeralda and I am a 26-year-old chef (or a cook, depends on who you ask :D) from Finland. I love to learn new things and meeting new people, so hopefully as l travel to a place I've never been to before I get the best of both worlds. As a nature lover visiting and exploring New Zealand is a longstanding dream of mine but over the years life got in the way with my studies, work and worst of all, covid. So now that I'm finally in a place in my life where I have time to chase my dreams, I am taking that opportunity and doing a working holiday in NZ! I booked a one-way ticket on a whim and decided to leave everything I know behind in December 2023. (Therefore it's probably not that surprising that) I don't really have any definitive plans regarding this WH. I'm basically down for anything that's fun and/or interesting and looking for someone to share the journey (or at least part of it) with! We could do some sightseeing, seasonal or volunteer work, farmstays or just drive across the country (I can't drive but I'd be happy to split the gas bill, etc.). I'm open to all kinds of adventures! I'm arriving to Auckland March 14th (14.3.). Please message me if you would like to get together and explore NZ with me! :)

More details about your skills

Currently I work as a chef but I also have experience in customer service as I've worked as a cashier in the past. I've also worked in a warehouse so I have no issue with doing manual labour. As a warehouse worker I was in charge of training the new employees among other things. I have also done quite a bit of painting (both inside, outside and furniture), diy projects and gardening (mostly planting, harvesting, weeding, turning the soil). I'm a quick learner and a hard worker!
