Descrição
Hello There, We are Kelin and Makenzie and we are semi newly weds (October 2024) who are looking for a learning opportunity! We are both hard workers, plenty adventurous, and love to travel. We enjoy hiking, playing guitar and singing, reading the bible, time with friends/family and cooking a good meal together. We have a dream of owning property, raising animals/tending to soil and hosting others. We want to learn what its really like to do these things in cultures outside our own (USA). We are currently on a late gap/too early retirement year for the last year of our 20s. We kicked off our year abroad last fall with a few months in the Swiss Alps at a place called L'Abri, and will be heading to Japan and New Zealand next, with some stops along the way.
Kelin has experience in trades work and construction.
Makenzie has experience with caring for and riding Horses as well as working in hospitality.
Thank you for your consideration in hosting us!

He’s keen and able to help out around the place and it was a great help having Kelin stay for nearly a week .
