We are Teja and Denis, a young couple from Slovenia, EU who will be from 23rd of March 2017 traveling and working in New Zealand via Working/Holiday visa.

At our home we have a cat called Mimi and a dog called Lola. while we will be abroad, Teja's family will take care of them as we all live in the same house.

We are both active and sport loving couple. we are in love with nature and animals. we would like to work and travel in New Zealand, and at the same time experience a whole new world of travelling.

Denis: My name is Denis Plahuta and I am an architecture engineer. I am also a sport lover and I like to practice many kinds of sports – surfing, football, snowboarding, hiking, running… I can say about myself that I am a creative person, so with my girlfriend Teja we have started our own company called "Dendo longboards", where we are handcrafting wooden bow ties and other wooden accessories. Since I was a kid we always had at home a cat and a dog. I am in love with nature and animals.

Teja: I have a bachelor of economics degree and I am a co-founder at Dendo Longboards. I like nature, animals and sports (surfing, skiing, jogging). I grew up in a family surrounded by domestic animals. Since I can remember we always had cats, dogs, a horses and a small farm of bulls at our home. We also have a lot of vineyards, as my father is a winegrower and winemaker.

We will be arriving in NZ on 23rd March and happy to skype meet with you. We look forward to meeting you very soon!
