Descripción
Hello! We are Fede & Cristina :)
We are on a journey together, to discover new places and to learn what life is all about. We want to explore, meet people, learn cultures, taste new flavours and sounds.
We are currently back in Europe, traveling around Spain after an amazing 10 months journey in New Zealand, where we mainly did Workaway.
We are a very curious, active and open minded couple, looking for places where we can help, grow and share. Most likely close to animals, bush, forest, beach and inspiring human beings.
Cristina is... 29 years old, originally from Italy. I left my country with a degree in fashion design at the age of 23 to travel to Australia for 2 years, to learn english and trully start my life. During this time I did Workaway in a farm looking after animals and working in the veggies garden. Then I've been travelling aroun New Zealand and Asia before coming back to Europe. I chose Spain as next country to learn Spanish and keep growing, where I volunteered in hostels before finding a "real" job in hospotality.
About Fede... 29 years, born in Uruguay, when 18 moved to Spain where I had the oportunity to learn a completely different culture. With my studies I was able to work as an IT, but also had the chance to experience many other jobs, like Baking (Bread and Pastry), etc. Lived in Barcelona for 3 years, were I found a stable Job as a developer, but fortunately met Cristina, which inspired me to travel again so I left with nothing behind and many oportunities ahead.
Both of us are fluent in enligsh, and we are learning from each other our mother languages. It's really easy for us to get used to new enviroments and aproach new challenges in life.
We are vegetarian but not fuzzy about other's eating choices, so we don't mind sharing table with you if you want to have pork for dinner :P
We don't want to bother you with longer descriptions, but please if you want to know anything else about us just write a message and we will be very happy to talk with you.
Hope we meet very soon!

I wish I could give this couple 10 stars! They were the very best help we had all season. The most amazing workers who took any job allocated seriously and completed with such professionalism. And so funny, loved their sense of humour, always had us laughing. The best company! We consider them family now!

We spent 5 very pleasant weeks with the host a remote slice of Paradise hidden in the Sounds. We got there by car after a long drive on an ungravel and windy road. Lynley received us with a smile and cookies.
The accomodation was a room close to the main house. Toilets and showers were shared with the other workawayers and the guests, few steps… read more away from the room. Same for the kitchen/lounge that were in another building, just few more steps away.
The job was done during the morning and consisted of housekeeping duties, so the rooms were ready for arriving guests during the day. The rest of the day was free for us. There is plenty of fun activities to do while off duty, like kayaks, paddleboards, walks, hikes, swimming, the hot spa, and of course relax in a beautiful enviroment with amazing landscapes. When raining, there are other options, indoor, like playing lots of board/card games, reading by the fire or whatever you are into. Have in mind the WiFi is a bit limited, so if you like to watch movies or shows, it is reccommended that you get those on your laptop somewhere else beforehand. Anyway, they also got a huge library of DVD movies in the place and a portable player.
You have to provide your own food and it's better to do your groceries beforehand and arrive with a good stock of goodies, because there are no shops nearby. Anyway, the basics like coffee, tea, flour, rice, spices are provided and found in the common kitchen. Also, every now and then someone goes to town and can buy for you stuff you need. We ended up having a lot of food, because we are too precautious and because sometimes the guests leaving were giving away some food.
Lynley and Mike are fun, very generous, lovely people. We wish we could have spent a bit more time together. We shared easter with them and their friend Cathy, we had pancakes and great talks. Mike is number one even without trying, he's genuinely good at anything, if you are lucky enough he will teach you one thing or two. We also met Dylan, another family friend, he's a great cook and very cool guy. Lynley is very sweet and the way she speaks makes you feel at ease everytime. She's also a great baker, with a very contagious laugh. Overall we felt at home and was difficult to leave these amazing people behind to continue our adventure. Hopefully we can visit them back sometime.
Thank you for everything and wish you the best end of season. Be safe and good luck with the renovations.

We stayed with Reg and Princess for 4 weeks of happiness.
The lodge is in a remote beautiful place surrounded by many cool places to visit and where you can enjoy nature at its most. Reg's house is big, comfortable, quiet and welcoming. We had a private cabin that was just a few steps away from the main lodge where to sleep and ensuite bathroom.… read more

Great times we had while at Kendall & Greg's! They are a typical lovely kiwi family, running their own business(es), hard working volunteers in beautiful Napier. We are very thankful that they welcomed us in their amazing, modern house, doing the best for us to feel at home.
We were helping in various tasks, like cleaning and tidying up cottages… read more

Fede and Christina rolled up in their new little car just before Xmas. Our first couple and our first time with workaway help during the busy holiday period couldn't have worked out better. With a houseful of family and friends coming and going Chris and Fede slotted in nicely with their open and friendly personalities. Whilst getting to know us… read more

A stay that we will not forget. We matched from the first minute, and stayed for 3 weeks of fun, laughs and delicious food. Joy and Muzz are the most amazing couple, one of the best workaway experiences we had so far.

Awesome couple who put 110% effort into the tasks we had. Very friendly and understanding of the fact that we couldn't give them the full kiwi experience due to the extreme busy-ness of a newborn baby! Would welcome Cristina and Federico back anytime they want :)

Our stay at Catherine&Hector's was really good. They received us with open arms, organised private accommodation for us in short time and were sure that we had everything we needed, for what we are super thankful. The place where we stayed was a 10 min walk from the house where we were working, and 5 min walk from the local beach. We mainly worked… read more

Fede and Cristina are just the loveliest couple, we so enjoyed having them to stay with us and were sad when they left. Always cheerful and always willing to help and keen to do a great job. They have bags of initiative too so you can just leave them to it and know they will make sensible choices about how to do stuff. They looked after the site… read more

The family (that includes animals with 2 or more legs...ahahahah) is simply unforgettable and they will have a room in our hearts for a long time. Suzy, Jamie, Jen, Gordon, and so on, are the most lovely and generous people around. We spent 2 weeks at the retreat and hopefully one day we can go back. The jobs to do were very varied and fun, there… read more

There are not enough words to describe how lovely are these people. If you think about the sweetest bluberry muffin you are still far away from what Bob and Karren are. We spent two unforgettable weeks in their beautiful place and we had a lot of fun working with them. We did a variety of jobs like gardening, weeding, planting, shifting cattle,… read more

They are a lovely couple who have a good work ethic. They did a range of farm chores, gardening and household tasks.

It was definitely a very interesting experience for us also. We hope you are having a good time with your next hosts.
In our profile we have made it clear that the accommodation was basic but private and with new mattresses, making it very comfortable which is the feedback we have had from other helpers that have stayed with us. There are seven… read more

No words, just take her if you want the sun in your place all the time even when its a cloudy day.
Cri is a great help, soulmate and a friend.
Taking care of the guests like they were her true best friends ( though professional approach).
