Description

We are a couple of kiwis in our early 30s taking a gap year from our careers at home in New Zealand. Tarn is a high school teacher and Bex is a Government Advisor. We both love food, the outdoors, and music. We want to spend our year travelling slow through Europe, and getting to experience places deeper.
