Description

Kia ora and Hello! We are Jenna and Ollie, two kiwi travelers that love the outdoors, immersing ourselves in new cultures, making connections, looking after furry friends, and seeking new experiences.

A bit about me, Ollie! I enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures through people, places and food! I'm a big animal lover with a furry younger brother, Basil the fox terrier back home in NZ. I love to play football, go hiking, and getting to know new people.

A bit about me, Jenna: I love to be in the outdoors, staying active, surfing, hiking or running. I also love to care for children and see the world through their excited and curious eyes. While traveling, I want to experience a country to its fullest by immercing myself in the culture and food, while getting to know the local people.

We've spent the last year living beach side in Valencia, Spain, taking in the culture, exploring the country, and learning Spanish along the way. We're now off on our next adventure, making our way to Vancouver, Canada, at the start of August. We can't wait to explore what Canada has to offer, from the people to the nature, we're excited to get amongst it!

Ollie: Whether you need a hand with your next DIY building project, cooking awesome meals, or looking after a furry friend, I'm your guy! I've lived in six countries and love to learn and add value back wherever I can - with a varied background from construction to technology management consulting, I'm up for anything!

Jenna: With a passion for sustainability, Jenna has experience working with corporates implementing decarbonisation and sustainability plans. She volunteered in a hostel in Portugal for 2 months, assisting in the kitchen and ensuring guests were happy.
