ABOUT ME
Hello everyone,
We are a french couple from France. We arrived on the 2nd of July in Auckland.
We would like to browse New Zeland as much as we can, and mainly, meet "Kiwis" people.
We would like to discover the country, new persons, new kind of life, share our stories with you and listen to yours, and of course improve our english skills.
We are easy going and smiling people. We like children and animals.
To speak about our trip:
We already travelled 6 months in AUstralia. We started in Melbourne, went up to Cairns, then down to Adelaide through the desert before coming back to Melbourne and sell our campervan.
Then we went to Perth, and made a short trip to Port Hedland before going back south.
We are at the time in New Zeland for two months. After that, we'll go to Asia during three months and a half before coming back to France.
Our plan is something like(can change any time):
* Buying a car in Auckland
* 9-17 July : Bay of Island, Waipaou Forest,Waitangi Reserve, Coromandel, Waitomo
* 17-23 July : Helpx in Taupo, ROrotura, Tongariro
* 24-25 July : Wellington
* 25-30 July : Helpx around Nelson, Abel Tasman, Malborough Sounds
* 31 July-7 August : Kaikoura, Punakaiki, Franz Josef, Wana
* 7-12 August : Queenstown and surroundings
* 13-17 August : Fiordland, Catlins
* 18-22 AUgust : Dudenin, Mount Cook ...
* 23 AUgust - 1st September : Helpx in a Family
The dates are really flexible and we don't even know if we will be able to do everythings.
But if you are somewhere on our road (or close to), we would be glad so share a moment with you, or even few days if you need help at home
Please, don't hesitate to contact us by email, we will be glad to visit you for a couple of nights :).
Hope to read from you soon.
Best regards,
Laure & Yann

To give you more information about us:
Laure :
I'm a biologist (pharmacologist) engineer. I've worked for Johnson&Johnson compagny for 2 years in Paris before coming to Australia, as a Clinical Research Assistant in oncology.
I danse since I'm 6 years old (ballet danse at first and contemporain and modern-jazz danse then), and I Love bushwalking, meeting new people, animals, etc...
When I'm home, i'm used to cook, clean, do the ironing, dishwashing, gardening, etc...
Yann:
I am an engineer in telecomunication and network. I've worked for "Titane conseil" for 1 year and a half in Paris as a consultant.
It was a really small compagny (8 persons) so I learn lot of things in a short time, and it was a good experience :).
I was playing football and tennis in France, but i like almost every kind of sports (tennis table, volley ball, swimming etc ...). I also like to read mangas even if some people consider it's as a child's hobby ^^.
I like buswalking as well and sit in front of beautiful landscape or simple fire.
I'm not a pretty good cook, but i sometimes help Laure and do also cleaning, dishwashing, gardening, etc...
HelpX and work experiences in Australia:
We've already worked in plums and pinapple picking in Australia.
We've done 3 helpX :
- Vegies farm in Adelaide : picking, weeding, taping, packing, cleaning ...
- Homestay in Perth : our tasks are essentially cleaning, ironing and cooking in the house and gardening (weeding), stocking wood and chopping wood with an axe, planting trees and shrubs ...
- Homestay in Kumeu : we cleaned, cooked, did some gardening etc ....
