Hi hi hi! My name is Manda (31) i am from Nova Scotia CANADA ... I am traveling with my partner, Nancy (31), who is from Mexico City!~ We have been traveling together for almost 3 years and came to New Zealand on a oney (holiday work visa). We have been here 8 months and have been pushbike trip, car camping, surfing- enjoying what NZ has to offer. We have been lucky to meet amazing new folks (and met with old friends) along the way! If you would be willing to host us on our journey we would be so grateful, excited and humbled to share your space!!!

~~~
We are both travelers at our core and love meeting folks from different places, with different backgrounds. We both are total nerds who laugh a lot! We love anything outdoors.. Especially sailing or Kayaking and biking! We enjoy a good craft beer too ;)
We love to chat and share stories and check out the things our hosts are interested in too! (oh! And if you have a pet that would be a special bonus for us... We love the furbabies)

We are super easy-going, no drama kind of people. We are respectful of house rules and of our host! We clean up after ourselves! We are comfortable with a roof over our heads /// or in this case a place to pitch our tent\\\ and a good conversation, so you as a host, need not play tour guide (unless you want to of course!)

We are constantly grateful for all the generosity and kindness that has been shared with us in our travels.

Looking forward to meeting you!

P.S we lived in Dawson city for about 6 months. .. not sure why my profile says I am from there...
