CURRENT MISSION

We are now in Buenos Aires, working in Boutique Hotel, we can't host because we live there. But we could hang out and show you one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

Both of us are triple vaxxed against COVID-19

Meeting people! Conocer gente, culturas, formas de vida, costumbres...
Aprender!!! Viajando y alojando viajeros me siento una esponja que todo el tiempo absorbe conocimientos...

ABOUT ME

Hello! We are Daniela and Lisandro.

I am Lisandro, a lover of travel. I love meeting people, cultures and different lifestyles.
I studied Bachelor of Tourism and Bachelor of Sociology at the University.
I love reading and listening to music.

Daniela is my girlfriend, she loves the pets, especially dogs and cats, meeting new people and experiencing new things. She is journalist and photographer. Is the best "chef" I met in my life, she cooks like a grandma.

We both love seeing new places, tasting new foods, the adventure and the spontaneity that the journey brings.

We enjoy pushing ourselves out of the comfort zone. We enjoy also the personal growth that happens within we through the culmination of everything we experience and the people we meet.

We love the outdoor life and the learning that it implies. Always prefer riding bikes or walking than driving, but in New Zealand we had "Kiwito", our van to travel.

We like the peace of the countryside, but also the lights of the cities. The beach and the mountain.

We travelled a lot around Latin America and Europe, and lived in different countries: Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Mexico, Spain and New Zealand. We were in this country, travelling from 2019 to 2022.

We love to cook together and drink a cup of wine or beer. We don't smoke and don't use any drugs.

We lived together in Mar del Plata for a year, before started travelling to Europe and New Zealand in 2019. But me, Lisandro, lived alone for twelve years in Mar del Plata and hosted a lot of travellers from all over the world, while I was studying and working; and Daniela lived with her dog Moro in Buenos Aires for seven years.

In New Zealand we experienced something new and as wonderful as Couchsurfing, that is House Sitting. We shared with you some of the reviews we recieved from the owners of the houses and pets we took care:

- Lisandro and Daniela looked after our home, garden and pets while we were away caravanning for 4 weeks. They did a superb job and we returned to happy animals, a spotless, inviting home and a thriving garden. We had regular communication and photos of our home and pets from this lovely, caring couple. Lockdown intruded into our time away. We had to return early and we have happily and gratefully shared our bubble with Lisandro and Daniela. We wholeheartedly recommend them as housesitters and and will be forever thankful for their help and caring.
HESTER (Bay View , Mar 2020 - 4 weeks)

- Lisandro and Daniela looked after our home and our lively German Wire Haired Pointer pup Woody for 3 weeks over Christmas and New Year. They did a fantastic job, Woody was very happy and the house was spotlessly clean and tidy on our arrival home. They are a lovely couple, and communicated regularly while we were away and kept us updated with pictures of Woody and videos. We would highly recommend Lisandro and Daniela and will be keeping in touch. They are a lovely couple.
JUDE (Queenstown South Island, Dec 2020 - 2 weeks 6 days)

- Lisandro and Daniela did a wonderful job of looking after our house and two dogs. The house was spotless on our return and the dogs were well walked and very content! We were lucky enough to have Lisandro and Daniela stay with us for a few extra days and we now consider them family. They are a beautiful couple, open and generous who easily fitted in with family life. They are both great cooks! We miss them already. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to others.
KIRSTY (Masterton , Sep 2020 - 5 days)

- Lisandro and Daniela are amazing house-sitters. They were very respectful of our house and most importantly our animals. I would highly recommend them as house-sitters.
ANTOINETTE (Company Bay South Island, Oct 2020 - 3 weeks)

- Lisandro and Daniela looked after our place and especially our cat, Mitzi, so well. Would thoroughly recommend them, and will be definitely asking them back in the future!
LORETTA AND ANDREW (Bridge Hill South Island, Nov 2020 - 4 days)

- Lisandro and Daniela were fantastic - they took great care of our dog Ned, treating him like their own, and the house was immaculately clean when we returned. Daniela also planted in the vege garden for us, which was awesome. Lisandro and Daniela are both super friendly and great communicators. We would welcome them back anytime. Highly recommended.
RUSHLEE (Lake Hawea South Island, Nov 2020 - 1 week 3 days)

- Lisandro and Dani are high-quality house sitters who took care of my property really well and liaised with me promptly regarding mail and any queries they had during the house-sit. Highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an amazing pair of house sitters and who want to embrace the opportunity to engage with people from overseas and from an interesting Argentinian culture.
BEA (Kawerau, Bay of Plenty, Mar 2021 - 2 months and 10 days)

- Gosh, I could not have asked for better house sitters than Lisandro and Daniella. They were fantastic communicators and we were always kept up to date. We were away for months on end and I had complete faith in their care of our home, garden and especially our pets. On one occasion, they had guests stay over but permission was sought and granted prior to the guests arrival. Lisandro and Daniella kindly helped out with expenses (electricity) which was most appreciated. The cats and chickens were so content when we arrived home. Thank you for taking such great care of everything and best of luck with your trip back to Argentina next year.
JENNIFER AND BILL (Waihi, Waikato. Nov 21- 4 months).

- Lisandro and Daniella were excellent sitters who took great care of our pets, and house. It was lovely to receive updates and photos of the pets having fun while we were away! We could relax knowing that they were in safe hands. We arrived back home to a tidy house and happy pets. Thanks for taking good care of them, and best wishes with your travels!
ROBYN (Titirangi, Auckland. July 2021-1 week).

- Lisandro and Daniela were perfect house sitters! We have never used house sitters before, but we have a dog called Alan that we didn't want to put in a kennel so thought it was a great option. Alan LOVED his long weekend with Lisandro and Daniela, they took him on lots of walks, had loads of cuddles with him, and sent us updates and pictures of all of it! Their communication was awesome, and we came home to a tidy house (they even washed their sheets, which I was not expecting!) and a happy, tired doggo. I highly recommend Lisandro and Daniela as house/pet sitters :-)
MANDY ( Haruru, Northland. July 2021- 4 days).

- Lisandro and Daniela were fantastic house sitters. They were in regular communication before arriving early, staying the night to meet the animals and get familiar with everything. They posted us photos of the dogs and kept in contact while we were away. The house and animals were very well looked after, with the dogs loving their company and the house lovely and tidy upon our return. They were wonderful to talk to, and we enjoyed having them stay with us for a couple of additional nights. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter. Our dogs who are big were well exercised and bonded with them instantly. Thank you Lisandro and Daniela for allowing us to have a stress free holiday, knowing our house and animals were in excellent hands. Sally and Steve.
SALLY (Whangarei, Northland. July 2021- 13 days).

- I was lucky to find Lisandro and Daniella to look after my house.They kept it very tidy and clean and communication with them was very easy. I must recommend them to any future house owners who require tidy/reliable and friendly house sitters. ALL THE BEST AND GOOD LUCK........and THANK YOU again.
