Description

Kia ora! We are Tiffany and Aleksandrina (Sandra), a multilingual couple from the USA in our early 30s. Tiff is a photographer originally from Taiwan, and Sandra is a graphic designer originally from Russia. We're currently in Lake Hāwea, but soon making our way up through North Island.

How we can help you 🤝🧑🏻‍🌾
We have experience with general housekeeping, gardening/farming, babysitting, petsitting, cooking, technology, and language. Tiff comes from a big family with lots of babies and dogs, and Sandra was a camp counselor for kids aged 3-12. Thanks to our families, we have a deep appreciation for different cuisines and love to share this through food, and living rural has given us experience harvesting gardens and tending to hens - but we'd always love to learn more in this area! We speak Mandarin Chinese and Russian, and would be more than happy to teach or do a language exchange. Our professional lives are in digital design, so we're also able to help with any computer issues or enhance your business branding or website.

Aside from all of that, our passions are in art, writing, and photography, with a focus on documenting people and landscapes. We believe in the power of storytelling, both written and visual, to capture and convey meaningful moments. We're always looking to dive into new challenges and learn from different perspectives on life - maybe the next one is yours!

More details about my language interests
Tiff spent her childhood in Taiwan and can read, write, and speak Mandarin Chinese fluently. Sandra was born in Russia and is a native speaker, so happy to teach some conversational Russian as well, and studied a bit of Spanish so always looking to become more proficient.
