Description
Hi! We are George and George, two young, energetic and hardworking backpackers from the UK. We have been travelling and working in New Zealand since January, and are hoping to buy a car and do the same here in Australia.
We have some experience doing WWOOFing in New Zealand already, and loved that way of travelling and immersing ourselves in a host families’ way of life!
We hope you like the look of our profile and would accept us into your home!

More details about your skills
We are both very outdoorsy and physically fit, and don’t mind getting our hands dirty! We also both have experience in working with children - I am a tennis coach predominantly coaching children, and George is a primary school teaching assistant. Finally, we both have experience in hospitality, both in the UK and in New Zealand. We like to think of ourselves as hard and quick workers, who like to do a job well.
Below are a couple of reviews we’ve had from previous hosts in New Zealand.
“We really enjoyed having the boys here at our home in Miller's Flat. They were not only a delight to have stay the were exceptionally hard working and took direction so easy. Nothing was a problem and everything we done to a high standard. I found them both to be very respectful and loved playing with our three dogs. Would highly recommend them to anyone in NZ. Travel well boys and come visit anytime.”
“The George's came to stay with us for four nights - fantastic boys - great workers easily left to take instruction and understand the task asked of them . They worked really hard getting the ivy out of a large area and cleaned up a huge vegetable garden which was absolutely amazing. In the house the boys were very polite and respectful - excellent with the care of our pets and engaged easily with Forbes playing fun sports outside with him. Highly recommend them both. A pleasure to have had within our home.”
