Description

Hello and Kia Ora!
We’re Marion and Line, a couple from France in New Zealand since September 2025.
!


We’re outdoorsy, active, and curious by nature. We love hiking, exploring new places, taking care of animals, watching and rating movies, playing board games, and cooking tasty vegetarian meals together. We laugh a lot, talk a lot, and really enjoy sharing time with others.

About Marion :
I’m 25 and from Normandy. I graduated in 2023 with a Master’s in Journalism and have been working in regional newspapers ever since. I’m curious, love meeting new people, and always eager to learn new things. I also enjoy documenting my travels through photography and video editing.
Animals have a special place in my heart, and I would love to help care for them. I spent 15 years riding and being around horses, which was a big part of my childhood and teenage years.


About Line
:
I’m also 25 and from Normandy. I tend to be the quieter one between us, but I’m just as excited about this adventure! I hold a Master’s in Foreign Languages (English and Spanish), and my work background is quite varied, from public relations and a campsite reception to assisting management at a music school. I’m versatile, adaptable and curious about everything I take on. I enjoy helping out wherever needed - whether it’s in the garden, the kitchen, or helping with animals. Animals welfare is especially close to my heart. I previously worked as a communication officer for an animal protection NGO, which deepened my commitment to the cause.


We’ve already did several workaway in New Zealand, all of which went very well and are among our best experiences in the country. We’re currently on the South Island :)
