Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My guests can benefit from the broad experiences I accumulated over the years as I am curious, have a can do attitude and love exploring. They can learn anything that I do as long as it is of interest to them.

What else ...
Looking for a friendly, honest and keen person to come and stay a reasonable amount of time and as long as the relationship is rewarding for both parties.
I live in Christchurch city, it’s very convenient. But if you are just passing by and looking for a free accommodation for a night or two, please do not contact me. I am not a hostel.
While work will be interesting and involve using a range of skills, there will be time to discover the New Zealand culture and to have fun.
Cooks, gardeners and trades people in the building industry will be much appreciated. -
