Description
Hello,
We are on a working holiday in New Zealand and live in a van. We love the outdoors and enjoy it by hiking, running, surfing etc. We are hoping to meet some like minded people, spend time with animals, help other people, learn about different types of lifestyles, learn some new skills and try new activities such as rock climbing, paragliding or sailing. We lead a healthy lifestyle and don't smoke, drink alcohol or use drugs.Interests

More details about your skills
During our working holiday in New Zealand we have been doing a lot of house and pet sitting. We have looked after 2 dogs in Devonport and 1 dog and a horse in Riverhead. In May we worked at an orchard picking persimmons.
We can help you around the house and we'd be keen to feed and work with animals. Tuomas (which is his 2nd name and uses instead of Juhana) has some renovation skills too. Johanna has a green thumb and had a lot of houseplants back at home. She could help you to change the soil to your potted plants for example and help out in the garden.
Back at home Johanna has worked as a hotel receptionist, recruiter, office manager and HR specialist. Tuomas has worked in warehouses, construction, security, laboratory and test engineering.Age
28 & 31
What else ...
We do bouldering indoors but would be interested to try outdoor climbing. Johanna absolutely loves board games: mahjong, pictionary, memory games, ticket to ride, suburbia, carcassonne, wingspan to mention a few. She also does cross stitch in the evenings. Tuomas is on study leave and he is doing online courses related to IT and test automation every now and then.
