Description
Hey my name is Lani, from New Zealand, and I have made a move to Europe.

I am looking to experience some new culture and countries and learn some practical new skills in exchange for contributing to great projects and causes. I am responsible and easy-going, I don't mind hard work, and have no trouble getting my hands dirty.

I connect with myself most when I am outside in nature and doing physical activities. I like deep conversations and hearing different views from people, I look forward to connecting!

Lani stayed with us one month, mostly helping with renovation work, cutting brambles and other gardening tasks and last but not least cooking amazing meals. He was an attentive and eager worker, trustworthy and super nice company! We also did some workout together with him as the trainer, that was fun.

Lani was such a nice volunteer to have around. He was very communicative and enjoyable. He worked very hard and did always more than he should. He is strong and he liked to do the heavy lifting. He was very well liked in the group of volunteers and was always in for a laugh and a game. Thank you Lani. If you ever want to come back, you are welcome.
