Rune & Lissi

Guten Tag,
We are a couple from Germany, living in the Stuttgart area.
I (Rune) will finish my masters degree in aerospace engineering in November, and plan to travel for a few months after, to live a slower life after years of studying and before pursuing a Ph. D. In the middle of January, my girlfriend Lissi will join me during her semester break from her teacher training, we want to spend about 2 months together house sitting in New Zealand.
Before her studies, Lissi finished training as a veterinary assistant and loves caring for animals - and so do I: At home, we care for a dog, a cat, and four chickens.
We would love to hear from you, as you could make our dream of traveling to New Zealand come true!
PS:
We plan to rent a car for our time in New Zealand, so house sitting in rural areas is not a problem for us.
