[QUOTE="BLG, post: 3296508, member: 2526"] I'm from NZ and I employ young (in there 20,s) people from Europe most spring/summer planting season. I have also spent about 10yrs living and working in other countries both on my own and with a partner. At the moment there is a English lad and Irish lass working for me and another has just gone home after spending two seasons with me. We find that the experience does nothing but good not only on the work side but also outside of work, for example the English lad with me at the moment came here as a self confessed mummy's favourite, hadn't ever operated a washing machine, and now is able to look after himself has gained a heap of self confidence - and can even operate a washing machine!! The other guy that has just gone home, came in 2015, worked for a season, made enough money to travel around NZ for the winter and came back for another season. My suggestion is for you to both come on working holiday visa's as long as long you're happy to travel together, and as long as you're both not too fussy you should be able to get jobs in the same area. Don't expect her to sit around on her own doing nothing while you're doing long hours on the tractor. If there is two of you you have to learn to compromise. Or you come out first for a few months and then get her to join you while you travel around. Just remember the first step is the hardest. [/QUOTE]
