CURRENT MISSION

Cycling around New Zealand

ABOUT ME

We are Claire and Maxime, a French-Canadian duo in our late 20's quite found of traveling. We arrived in Auckland in november 2012 with Working Holiday Visas, and have been working since then.
In the beginning of february we are flying to Dunedin, taking our sweet bicycles with us to start a cycle trip across New Zealand for about 3 months. Cycling is for us a friendly way of transportation, which allows to encounter both people and sceneries. We plan on camping, and Couchsurfing, and we will also try to do some woofing in farms or vineyards.
