We are currently working in a Holiday Park in Norway

Descripción

We're Karo and Luke, a couple from Poland (Karo) and the United Kindgom (Luke). - Luke has Irish citizenship and so he is able to work in the EU!

We are now back in Europe after living/working on the south island of New Zealand, and travelling around South East Asia.

Luke is from northern England, from a little village of 100 people in the Lake District National Park. He grew up surrounded by hills, lakes and forests. He has a strong interest in the outdoors, and is happiest when making dens and building fires.

Karo is a talkative, friendly girl who can't sit in one place for too long. She comes from a small Polish town, but she believes that her home is everywhere where her friends are. She is happiest when learning something new or simply reading book in a hammock.

Currently we are working in a Holiday Park and a Cafe in Norway on a stunning Senja Island, where we are responsible for housekeeping, breakfast preparation and cafe/restaurant work.

Recently we were lucky enough to work at a holiday park in NZ, at the edge of the beautiful Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.

Karo was employed on the reception team, where she used her exceptional customer services knowledge - welcoming all new visitors to the park, as well as booking outdoor excursions and advising on highly changeable travel conditions. She was responsible for the after hours phone, providing necessary information and assistance to guests when reception was closed - she is no stranger to 3am calls. She also would occasionally work on the cleaning team, and she has experience supervising housekeeping staff.

Luke was the accommodation and facilities supervisor at the park, and a direct assistant to the park managers. He would supervise the cleaners, making sure all the rooms and facilities were cleaned to a high standard within an acceptable timeframe. He was also responsible for maintaining chemical stock, organising rural waste collection and linen deliveries, as well as conducting basic maintenance (including groundswork).

Additionally, we were so happy to have the opportunity to volunteer with the NZ Department of Conservation where we were Wilderness Hut Wardens in Nelson Lakes National Park - responsible for maintaining three separate mountain huts and ensuring all hikers were well-informed on the route ahead, including trail/weather conditions. We were also Campsite Hosts for the DoC in Marlborough Sounds, where we stayed for three weeks looking after a rural camp ground by the sea, along a popular hiking trail.

Que habilidades tienes?

We believe we both possess a wide variety of skills!

Luke -
The son of a Joiner and a Vet Nurse, I grew up surrounded by building projects and animals. I'm also a keen wild camper, and bushcraft enthusiast. I pride myself in my fire-lighting skills! I love cycling, having done several long distance, self-supported cycle tours. This gave me knowledge of bicycle maintenance and general maintenance, as well as bulding on my independence and my ability to be self-sufficient. I've worked in many public-facing roles, from Tourist Information Assistant, to Waiter/Barista, to High Ropes Adventure Course Instructor. Most of all, I just really enjoy learning and applying my own skill set to the projects I'm involved in. I always have a big smile on my face when I'm discovering new interests or taking onboard new ideas and skills from others.

Karo -
I have two biggest passions. One of them is the outdoors and the second is people.
I am a very open person, and I like to listen to others' stories because I believe that every person can teach me something new. I love to be outside - hiking, camping, kayaking, and practicing yoga, as well as relaxing in a hammock, reading my book. I grew up in a small town in the rural south of Poland close to many farms, so I know a thing or two about dogs, goats, and horses, and I will be happy to learn so much more about animal care!
I am quite a good cook (or at least I've been told that I am!) [She is. - Luke] and I will be happy to cook some meals if you need a hand in the kitchen. I can introduce you to Polish cuisine as well.
Most of my professional work has been customer-related, so I have a great ability to build strong relationships with people. I have been working as an animator, receptionist, office manager, and event coordinator. Due to my work as a manager, I am good with planning and organising - whether it is an outdoor game for friends, or creating a budget for an international event.
I believe that there is always room for improvement in what I do, and I use this mentality every day in my work and my play.

Luke -
I enjoy reading (mostly non-fiction), cycling, canoeing, wilderness camping, bushcraft, hiking/tramping, and diving. I love cooking outdoors over cast-iron. I always carry a sewing kit, priding myself in quick repairs of clothes and kit. I have a decent knowledge of outdoor equipment from all my time playing and working in the outdoors. I play instruments: harmonica, ukulele, some didgeridoo, and most recently I've been learning the tin whistle. One skill I'd love to learn more about is whittling with wood - anything that I can do while relaxing by a campfire in the evening is perfect for me!

Karo -
I love sunsets, dogs, floating in the lake, watching the flames of a campfire, and laughing with friends. I pretend that I don't like beans on toast, and I really do not like brussels sprouts. I am a huge fan of fantasy books (I think I've read Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings 25 times or more) and my dream is to write one. I love singing, so please don't get scared when I suddenly start to sing something to myself (it might be in Polish!). I finished music school so I can play piano and violin, although I have to admit that I haven't practiced for a while. If you want to learn music notes I will be more than happy to help!
