Beschreibung
Hi, We are Julie and Andrea 🙃
Our main goal is to visit New Zealand but also to spend some incredible time with hosts (maybe you 🤷🏻♀️). We find the possibility of staying with locals, working and sharing the same roof just crazy. To be able to help but also learn and share our knowledge, lifestyles and habits. We likes to be useful and work outdoors.
Julie : I love animals. Dogs drive me crazy 🐶. I'm also very fond of horses 🐴; I've been riding for about 10 years.
I’m comfortable with children. I often looked after my brother when he was young. As my brother has a disability, I've also developed a certain patience with children.
Andrea : I had a lot of experience in gardening 👩🏻🌾, I worked in a nursery for 5 months before leaving. I like animals as well and like take care of them. 🐈🐮
Otherwise, we love reading 📚and good movies 🍿. We love being outdoors, hiking ⛰️, going to the sea 🏝️... We're looking for adventure and wonderful landscapes (We think we can find our happiness here).
Andrea just arrived in October but I (Julie) already did 6 months in the North Island.
To be transparent with you, we're also here to improve our English. We can manage, but we're not fluent and may make you repeat yourself sometimes 😇

Was könntest du arbeiten?
Julie : My father was in the building trade, so I often helped him. I know how to sand, paint, lay parquet, screw and unscrew, and use tools 🛠️
We're comfortable with outdoor tasks such as clearing undergrowth, planting, using compost, chopping wood 👩🏻🌾 Andrea did 6 months in a nursery so she has good skills in gardening.
We're also great fans of animals, and enjoy looking after them.
Julie : Having ridden horses for a long time, I know how to look after them 🐴
It's not what we're primarily looking for, but we know how to maintain a house and take care of people 👴🏼. I (Julie) was a home help for 2 months in France. I used to clean people's houses, help them with meals and keep them company.

Probably the worst experience we've had. I didn't post any feedback before for fear of reprisals from them, but today I'm doing it to warn other woofers.

A lovely week with this adorable family. The accommodation is perfect and private. The work was mainly weeding but also painting. It was pretty fun and we were self-sufficient.
We discovered the Monopoly Deal there and we're addicted to it now haha. I recommend this woofing without hesitation.

We had a great time at Donna's place. Donna is a warm, active, funny and super welcoming woman. The work was mainly in the garden taking care of the property.
Donna is also a great cook! You won't be disappointed. We loved sharing her daily life and chatting with her in the evenings.
Thank you so much. xx

It was a pleasure to share these two short days with GG. An incredible, generous and warm host who rescued us from our previous hosts and welcomed us with open arms. We feel like we stayed much longer than that and very quickly got used to life in this charming little farm. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe place to stay.

Julie was a fantastic person to have around. She has done many 'workaways' and was engaged, motivated and happy to contribute wherever she could. She assisted me with renovation work and was the first person i have ever let paint internal doors. She did a great job. Julie is responsible, flexible, and easy-going with a good sense of humour.

She is also very independent, works hard, is diligent, has some useful skills, and takes initiative where appropriate. We would… read more

It was a pleasure to host Julie for the week. She was keen and enthusiastic to give whatever was going on a go. We didn't get the best weather to showcase the farm and surrounding areas - but made the best of it. There wasn't much happening with the horses at this time of year - but her love for them shone through. Clean, tidy, considerate and an… read more

It has been an absolute pleasure to host Julie for the last week.
She has been a very willing and capable helper and we have thoroughly enjoyed her company in our home.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone thinking of taking her on.

I spent a wonderful week with Wolf, Megan, Rebecca and Shannon. This is a great family with lots of animals if you like that. They are accommodating, loving and will take you with them if they can. They are full of good advice so don't hesitate. I sincerely recommend this woofing and would gladly go back if I could.

Mike is a great host: welcoming, attentive, patient, funny, good advice and so on. And on top of that he has an adorable little dog.
The work is pretty physical, but it's okay for 4-5 hours a day. I loved being part of Mike's wonderful project.
I had a great time there and highly recommend Mike 😊
