Description
We are 3 : Alex and Valentine, 8 years-old and Jonathan 5 years old
I travelled in 2011 around New Zealand by bicycle for one year and worked in organic farms as volunteers (WWOOFing)
I would be glad to host now volunteer, interested in eco building, gardenning, and/or like baby-sitting.
I just finish to build our ecohouse and the next project is to build a natural pool.
On this land we have got also a little vegetable garden.
I have a daughter and a boy part time and I need help for baby-sitting, and helping for the house
