Description

We are a french couple who met in and fell in love in our home mountains. Both passionnante by nature and great outdoors. We spend few month in New Zealand discovering this amazing country. We are keen to learn new skills and meet local people. 🏞️

Luc:
I am a resourceful and versatile individual with a technical background, currently working in Winter as a Ski Patroller in the French Alps. My skills range from first aid and emergency response to manual labor, including construction, forestry, general maintenance, livestock. I enjoy solving practical problems. I’m highly motivated to learn new skills and I am not afraid challenging outdoor environments. 🏔️

Helen:
With a background in Cultural Anthropology (studied Kiribati and it's people) and Visual Arts (cinema & photography), I am a curious and respectful person who values human connection and environmental care. My professional experience is a mix of customer service as a waitress, some farm work and educating children of all ages. Having worked as a groom and farm helper, I am very comfortable with animals. I’m a multitasker who is used to physical work in all weather conditions, always with a friendly smile and a good attitude. 🥰
