While Nana Jo stepped into her next chapter, Sofia stepped in to help guide the Travellers Rest.
Raglan Travellers Rest has always been about heart, warmth, and connection — and Sofia brought with her just that from the moment she arrived. Originally from Spain, Sofia and her friend Maria landed in New Zealand on a working holiday visa looking for nature, new experiences, chasing a dream of connection, and looking for something a little different from what they knew.
Thanks to Worldpackers, they found their way to this little slice of paradise, and we were lucky enough to welcome them into our world. In Sofia’s words:
“We came seeking reconnection with nature — and ended up in a magnificent house where we were perfectly treated. Thanks to the location, we explored places like Raglan, Ruapuke Beach, Ngarunui, and Bridal Veil Falls. We’re so grateful for this experience and for being able to take care of such a beautiful space. Thank you for letting us stay in paradise.” 🌿
From the moment she arrived, Sophia brought a welcoming energy and genuine care to the Travellers Rest. She’s been an absolute gem — and we’re so stoked to have had her managing the space with such kindness and enthusiasm.
Thank you Sophia & Maria, for being part of our journey. Your presence left the place better than you found it. 🧘✌🏼
