Description
Kia Ora! We are Zach and Ivory from New Zealand. We are embarking on a year of travel around Europe including a working holiday visa in France. We are very excited to immerse ourselves in the French language and culture, and to connect with new friends along the way. We love to experience the different ways people live around the world.
Some of our favourite things to do are hiking, exploring new towns/cities, swimming - we love being in nature! Making our travels as environmentally friendly as possible is a big priority for us.
