Description
Kia ora, we are Sam (26M) & Maddie (25F), a couple from Aōtearoa, New Zealand.
Earlier this year we decided to take a break from our working lives to see more of the world. We arrived in Europe at the beginning of June, after spending a month traveling through central Mexico. While we have loved exploring Europe's rich history, fantastic food, and beautiful coastlines, we are ready to do some meaningful work. We are most looking forward to forming connections with local people and being taught unique ways of being.
We share a passion for the outdoors, with a special affinity for the ocean. Sam is a keen surfer, fisherman, and reader of history and ecology. Maddie loves growing and cooking with fresh produce, hiking, and spending time with animals.
