Description
We are a travel-lovin' couple from New Zealand with a passion for exploring diverse cultures and embracing new experiences! Growing up on farms taught us the value of hard work, adaptability, and a deep connection to nature. 🌿 I (Hayley) studied Graphic Design and Marketing, while Nick specialized in Mechanical Engineering, making us a resourceful and eager team ready to tackle various tasks.
Our hobbies include surfing, diving, skiing, hiking, paragliding, art, yoga and cooking. We are avid animal lovers and enjoy caring for all kinds of creatures. ❣️🐾 As Kiwis, we find immense joy in the beauty and tranquility of nature.
Volunteering overseas would be an incredible experience for us! We are enthusiastic about immersing ourselves in new cultures, building meaningful relationships, and making a positive impact in the communities we visit. We are always ready to embrace new challenges and grow from unique experiences. 🙌
Over the past year, we have traveled through Southeast Asia, Turkey, and Europe. We spent the last four months living the van-life around Europe and, before that, worked together at an après-ski bar in Austria. These experiences have shown that we make a great team, as we haven't driven each other crazy yet! 😂
We look forward to meeting like-minded individuals and learning all we can from the workaways we are involved in.Interests
