Description
Kia ora!
We're a dynamic and adventurous couple finally on our new Zealand adventure (the pandemic postponed it a little). I'm Martin, a 35-year-old explorer from Argentina, and this is my girlfriend Alice, a 33-year-old marine ecologist. We have a desire to explore different countries, make friends, learn new skills and gather knowledge. We are hardworking, outgoing and nature loving people:)
Alice: I started travelling at 19 (gap year after school) mostly in latinamerica and Europe. Before coming to NZ in May 2023 I finished my M.Sc. in Ecology with a thesis on the impact of waste water on reef health in the Caribbean. I am interested in ecotourism approaches and think work away is a great way to get to know people and help around their home/projects while exploring surrounding nature.
Martin: I love to travel and generally keep moving. I did not do a "gap year" when I was fresh out of school but got into the office straight away. So it took a few years for me to get the travel bug and now I am so happy and grateful to be meeting new people, learning about different cultures and working in wildly different things (food delivery, kiwi fruit). I seek an alternative lifestyle to the 9-5 job and one vacation per year. I love to be outdoors.
