    We are a married couple who love adventure. We love to travel and see new and old favourites. 2018 was our year off to explore parts of Europe, particularly Spain - house and pet sitting. Currently settled back in New Zealand, developing a lifestyle block in the sunny Bay of Plenty. Loving our 3 alpaca, running a cute B&B, and loving life.
