Description
We are a well travelled couple, from NZ and Colombia, both NZ and UK citizens, we have worked and lived in the UK, Spain, South Africa, and Australia, and NZ. I am excited by the world around me, constantly in awe of the natural world, and love new adventures. Mountain biking and hiking, intrepid journeys, and living in/exploring a region in detail are what I enjoy. Gloria enjoys hiking and is an accomplished musician and music teacher. We are spending winter in Europe and will be looking for opportunities to help out or look after your property, pets, or farm animals throughout the winter. We have our first workaway opportunity already planned - the second half of October we will be in the SW of France, so we hope to continue to explore France, Spain, or Italy after that....

Will - I grew up on a remote hill country sheep and cattle farm in NZ, did the lambing beat since age 5, worked as a shepherd / farm worker for a couple of years after school, a degree in Agriculture and Commerce, was a fencer to pay my way through uni, mustered cattle on horseback on an Australian cattle station, driven tractors, and am proficient in all things agricultural; livestock, machinery, buildings, etc..... and a career in rural banking, and much more. I am an outdoors person who still puts all those skills to good use, I'm also proficient in landscaping, concreting, painting, building, gardening, and pretty much anything - in the last 3 years I have completely landscaped two NZ properties, paving, fencing, building brick barbecues, planting and growning flower and vege gardens, fruit trees and more.
