Description
I am taking a gap year between high school and college, and I am looking to get away from everything and spend some time on a farm (preferably with sheep) for a couple months in New Zealand, which I have citizenship for. Once I set my mind to something, I can't be dissuaded, so even if I lack direct experience, I know I will do everything that is needed and have fun doing it! I love talking to people and making connections, we will have a great time together!
