Hi dear friend!
We are Dani and Nuria. A couple in their early 30's willing to explore and help communities after 7 years of working in New Zealand in the marine industry. It's time to have a break and get the feeling of adventure back again.
Currently Dani is working in the boat industry with high knowledge in composite repairs and boatbuilding skills. Nuria is working as a mechanical engineer in electric boats. We've also build few motor-homes to comply with the self-contained NZ certificated with high quiality finish.
We've been living with a family for 2 yeras doing renovation on their wooden house, building sheds and conservatory rooms.
We both are competent sailor, with charter experience and recreational yatching certificates (safety at sea, boat handling, navigation techniques etc). We have experience as sailing instructor all over the world in a variety of boats. We also have a high level of windsurf, kitesurf and wingfoil skills as this is our main sport.
We also enjoy diving, and we are respectfull with the sea life. Both chasing the waves if we have the chance to be in a surf spot.
Dani has a windsurf instructor certificate (spanish certificate) and Nuria a tenis instructor certificate.
Before arriving to NZ we also did some volunteering jobs in different countries, we've worked in bars and restaurants as waiter and helping in the kitchen. We know what volunteering means so we are looking to help you aroudn 4 to 6 weeks.
We work with a smile trying to learn and help as much as possible and we like to enjoy our free time doing water sports and socialising.Languages
