Descripción
Katrin:
I am a 29-year-old travelling-enthusiast who is happy to make it to New Zealand on the Working Holiday Visa before I'm no longer young enough!
I am a registered architect in Germany and taking some time out for this year. I am hoping to combine some Workaway-Stays with working remotely for the architecture office I worked for so far. The idea of some hands-on work mixed with some hours of desk-work sounds really fun to me!
Together with Josh I love hiking and am looking forward to explore some of New Zealands great hiking trails. I have been to NZ before on a tourist visa and am looking forward to see more of it.
I am a calm, sun-loving nature-lover who is always up for a laugh.
Josh:
Hello there. I'm a video game producer who likes to escape the PC chair and head out into the wild.
As Katrin put above, we enjoy a good hike together and I am very much looking forward to exploring New Zealand. Maybe even following Frodo to Mount Doom.
I'm a social, friendly individual who is usually the one Katrin is laughing at. -

Que habilidades tienes?
Katrin:
As an architect my experience of work with building-projects has been more theoretical so far but might still come in handy. I have some experience in woodworking from building models and an internship at a carpenters. I am a dedicated cook and love trying out new recipes (with the cooking app that I use I have already tried more than 350!) and I have worked as a kitchen hand in Australia for a while. I enjoy some gardening in my free time and would love to learn some more in that regard.
Josh:
I am a bit of a computer geek, with my professional career in Video Games often meaning I am tied to a PC in some fashion.
I also have experience with entertaining kids, especially from my time working in a Laser Tag arena.
That said, I grew up on a farm so am no stranger to working outdoors and operating a range of machinery. Additionally, I have WWOOF'd before in Australia on an organic garden which means I was able to gain some experience in that field too. -

Katrin & Joshua stayed with us for a week, they were great company.
We did a variety of jobs in the garden and around the house and they listened and communicated very well. All the jobs were done really diligently and if there was ever an issue they would clarify with me before proceeding.

katrin and josh were fantastic, hard working, fun people to have stay. They happily got totally stuck in to whatever task they were set with minimal need for direction or supervision. They're an easygoing couple of professionals, responsible and full of great stories & conversation, great cooks too. We'd have them back in a flash!

Every workaway is different which is what makes this volunteering really interesting. It does mean that what works for one host/workawayer won’t necessarily work for another. For us, Marcel’s farm was one that didn’t work, and we left earlier than originally intended.
