We are now here since 2 days and after getting some stuff done like bank account and tax number we are looking for jobs. Since Marko and Fanni were born in the most awesome country (this is a joke) they cant get a working-holiday-visa.. So we found something wich is called WWOOF - Willing workers on organic farms. You basically work on farms, clean houses, cook, clean more, work more and for like 5 hours per day you get a flat and 3 meals each day. Sounds perfect for us since you don't get checked for visa so its even possible for Marko and Fanni. After you worked in the morning you have the rest of the day for hiking, exploring or chilling at the beach. A usual "WWOOF Offer", which you can find in a book called WWOOFER BOOK, looks like this -
Fantastic location right at the beach overlooking the Tasman Sea and just a short stroll to the famous Pancake Rocks. Explore the beautiful walks into the Paparoa National Park, go canoeing, fishing, caveing and surfing. Our work includes maintaining the guest accommodation houses and some gardening. If you enjoy meeting people from all over the world and cultures, then give us a call or send us an email. We also prefer a minimum stay of two weeks; but the longer the better.
Of course we sent them an email :)
There are about 5500 WWOOF Offers here in NZ in all different places. We would really like to head to the South Island of NZ since there is the landscape we kinda desire and already know from Lord of the Rings :)
Or we stay in Auckland and its near locations - North Island
Its also amazing how you meet people here. Every random guy talks and acts like you would be his brother. We are sleeping in dorms beds at the moment with 1 stranger since its a room for 4. The first one ( Ellen who we met 2 days before at the airport ) left already to head to a different city. Now there is some sweden guy, aged 21, blonde and amazing who will stay in NZ for 9 month or till June like me. So we change telephone numbers and maybe we will have the same way at any times - Who Knows?
just chillax
