Description

Hi!

We are a French couple currently exploring New Zealand, here to learn a lot about ourselves, meet new people, and open our minds to new cultures and ways of living. Most of all, we want to share beautiful experiences and create lasting memories along the way.

We come from a small village in the French Alps, so you could say we're true mountain people- comfortable with nature, used to outdoor life and always up for adventure.

We are curious and creative, and enjoy a wide range of activities : musics, books, sports, hands-on works, making or building things. We love discovering new skills and sharing good moments with others.

More details about your skills

I (Manon) have a people-centered and organizational background, with professional experiences in communication, marketing, and customer service. I worked in various roles requiring adaptability, autonomy, and attention to details. I also have experiences in housekeeping, cooking. I'm creative, quick to learn, enjoy gardening and helping with manual tasks.

I (Pablo) have technical and manual expertises. With several years of experience as a maintenance technician in ski lift systems, I'm skilled in mechanics, cable work and a bit of hydraulics and electricity. I'm used to working outdoors, in the mountains, and under physically demanding conditions—including working at heights and in all seasons. I also enjoy restoring vehicles, crafting custom knives and leather gear, and welding. I'm comfortable handling a wide range of tools and machinery.

Together, we are a motivated and dynamic. We also workout a lot so heavy or physical work doesn't scare us.

What else ...

We both enjoy outdoors activities and sports in general (biking, hiking, weightlifting, water sports, winter sports...)

I (Manon) love books and discovering new authors. I enjoy photography and I looooove playing board game especially belote! I'm also very interested in powerlifting and judo - even if they're two completely different types of sports.

I (Pablo) like being outdoor, cutting wood, mow the lawn...
I really, really enjoy a good ride on a motocycle. I'm also pretty good at reading weather and finding the perfect spot to watch the sunset. And even though it's not the right season right now, I'm a good barbecue chef!
