Description

Hi there, we are Helena and Jake, two New Zealanders travelling throughout Europe, experiencing all the world has to offer! We both love the outdoors and connecting with people of all ages.

Helena: I am naturally curious and love giving anything a go and I put my all into everything I do. I love good food, good people and good times! Being outdoors also brings me true happiness :)

Jake: I am an outgoing and friendly person who loves getting stuck into tasks and activities. I really enjoy working with my hands and take quite a lot of pride in the finer details. I also thrive in the outdoors, spending most of my time working and doing activities with friends and family.
