Description

Enthusiastic and adventurous young couple from New Zealand and the UK, looking to spend summer 2024 in Europe working/volunteering with any projects water related! We met last summer working in a wilderness summer camp in the Howe Sound (British Columbia), and have since travelled New Zealand, Wales, Canada, and England together.
Currently, Max is working as a tradesman in the UK, whilst I finish my third year of Medical School at Cardiff University.

As a couple, we value novel experiences, and the chance to develop and diversify our versatile skilsets. Our hobbies revolve mostly around the great outdoors; Max is a keen sailor, with many years of experience and nautical miles under his belt, Robyn is an avid hiker leading us to walk the Pembrokeshire coastal path.

We are keen to try something new and hope that this experience will provide us an opportunity to grow and learn something new!

We look forward to hearing from you
