Description
Hi there! Holly and I are two kiwi friends who have been living in the UK for the past 3 years and are planning to spend a couple of months in Europe before heading home. We love meeting local people, experiencing local culture, spending time in nature and trying new things. We have regular house and petting experience in the UK for numerous families and Holly has recently spent two months working on a dairy farm in Ireland. Holly has also worked as a gardener and as a cleaner during university.
We are both friendly, hard working people and would love to join you to work and/or housesit! We will have access to our own car during travels and are happy to provide any external references.

Holly grew up on a farm in New Zealand. Throughout her university studies, she had various jobs milking cows, cleaning, mowing lawns and gardening. She will be working on a farm near Cork, Ireland for two months at the beginning of 2025.
We have both lived and worked in London for the past three years - with Holly working as a litigation assistant at a law firm and Sakshi working as a sustainability advisor during this time.

What else ...
Sakshi and I have been friends since high school and share many of the same interests, especially when it comes to travel and music! We have become big fans of slow travel, getting to know a place and its people by immersing ourselves in the local cuisine, spending time in nature around the area and finding great local spots like farmers markets !
