    Activities we are interested in:

    We are traveling to New Zealand on a Working Holiday Visa in hopes to explore, farm, hike, swim, learn about the culture and history of the islands, and meet people interested in sharing that with us.

  • Description

    We are very excited to visit new places and share our love of gardening, art, food, and the ocean!
    We both grew up on the coast of Maine. Josie has been working independently as a landscaper and teaching art classes at local schools and studios. She also works in ceramics, paints, draws, and knits when not out in the garden. Ben is a filmmaker and does freelance video editing, but he also loves the beach, dancing, playing tennis and also every other game.
    Getting the chance to explore and meet new people is what our lives have been needing, and we always welcome new opportunities for friendship. We have had many wonderful traveling experiences overseas, and there is so much left to see and learn.
    Looking forward to our meeting someday in the future!
