Description

Hi! Our names are Sadie and Naomi, and we are super excited to start a big adventure in New Zealand. We are good friends and recent college graduates with backgrounds in environmental science and public health and are embarking on a gap year before heading into the workforce. We are both 22 and from the USA. We love the outdoors, sustainability, animals, and are both very outgoing and low-maintenance. Both of us have experience working in sustainable agriculture (as pictured), and are excited to expand our horizons and learn more about New Zealand native crops and viticulture. While we are both well-traveled, this is our first time using WorkAway, and we are so excited to engage with community and culture in such a unique and immersive way. We can't wait to meet you!

We really enjoyed having Sadie and Naomi to stay and work with us. Their bubbly personalities and enjoyment of life is infectious. They worked hard and enjoyed what the countryside had to offer. We had wonderful meals and conversations. We both hope that you achieve your goals, and enjoy New Zealand

We had an amazing stay at Lorna and Jonathan's. They welcomed us with open arms and truly treated us like family. Their home is extremely comfortable and the work was simple; weeding, planting, cooking, or cleaning. The food was delicious and we especially loved Lorna's homemade bread and unique kitchen gadgets. They showed us around New Plymouth … read more

The work we did was simple; we … read more
