Description
Katrin:
I am a 29-year-old travelling-enthusiast who is happy to make it to New Zealand on the Working Holiday Visa before I'm no longer young enough!
I am a registered architect in Germany and taking some time out for this year. I am hoping to combine some Workaway-Stays with working remotely for the architecture office I worked for so far. The idea of some hands-on work mixed with some hours of desk-work sounds really fun to me!
Together with Josh I love hiking and am looking forward to explore some of New Zealands great hiking trails. I have been to NZ before on a tourist visa and am looking forward to see more of it.
I am a calm, sun-loving nature-lover who is always up for a laugh.
Josh:
Hello there. I'm a video game producer who likes to escape the PC chair and head out into the wild.
As Katrin put above, we enjoy a good hike together and I am very much looking forward to exploring New Zealand. Maybe even following Frodo to Mount Doom.
I'm a social, friendly individual who is usually the one Katrin is laughing at.

More details about your skills
Katrin:
As an architect my experience of work with building-projects has been more theoretical so far but might still come in handy. I have some experience in woodworking from building models and an internship at a carpenters. I am a dedicated cook and love trying out new recipes (with the cooking app that I use I have already tried more than 350!) and I have worked as a kitchen hand in Australia for a while. I enjoy some gardening in my free time and would love to learn some more in that regard.
Josh:
I am a bit of a computer geek, with my professional career in Video Games often meaning I am tied to a PC in some fashion.
I also have experience with entertaining kids, especially from my time working in a Laser Tag arena.
That said, I grew up on a farm so am no stranger to working outdoors and operating a range of machinery. Additionally, I have WWOOF'd before in Australia on an organic garden which means I was able to gain some experience in that field too.
