Description
We’re Niamh and Silvia! We decided to take a break from our daily lives and start a new adventure together, travelling through New Zealand. We're excited to explore this beautiful country, meet new people, and contribute wherever possible.
I, (Silvia) am a graphic designer with a deep passion for art, especially painting flowers. I also love playing music and find joy in creativity. Having travelled around Europe, I cherish the connections I have made with new people and the discovery of new places. I am always seeking more adventures that allow me to connect with both people and art.
Niamh is a drama therapist and climbing instructor with a strong love for the outdoors. Whether scaling mountains or hiking through forests, she feels most alive when she's surrounded by nature. Her passion for travelling and meeting new people is fueled by her love for learning about different cultures and listening to the stories of others.
We’re both incredibly excited about this new chapter in New Zealand! We’re hardworking, adaptable, and always eager to help out. Whether it’s lending a hand with projects, working in the garden, or simply sharing our love for the outdoors, we’re looking forward to contributing to the places we visit and connecting with the amazing people we meet on this journey!

More details about your skills
I have been passionate about nature all my life, I grow up in a small village in Spain, I developed a strong connection to nature, spending most of my time outdoors. I helped my parents in the garden and worked with my dad in his workshop where I nurtured my love for handicrafts. We also had animals like donkeys and chickens, and I became skilled at caring for them. Alongside this, I used to teach guitar and piano to kids, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I've also worked as a chef and barista, cooking has become one of my favorite ways to relax.
Niamh has a rich background in theater and drama therapy. She's spent years working with children, gaining great experience in facilitating groups and ensuring that everyone feels supported. As a drama therapist, she's developed a deep understanding of people and has a natural ability to help others. Niamh is hardworking, sociable, and always keen to lend a hand. She's also passionate about gardening and loves spending time outdoors, especially under the sun.

What else ...
We're always passionate about learning new skills and staying curious. Whether it's discovering a new craft or improving in an area we already enjoy. We love spending time outdoors, whether hiking, climbing, or just enjoying nature, and we’re big fans of sports, always keen for some friendly competition. We also appreciate quieter moments, sitting down with a cup of tea and playing a board game is one of our favourite ways to unwind. We’re always up for a new challenge, whether it's physical, creative, or simply learning something new from those around us!
