Description
Kia ora, I live in sunny Thames, on the Coromandel Peninsula - there are lots of local walks, rivers, beaches and art. I am a teacher by day and in weekends and free time I am working hard to improve my property. So I am looking to meet skilled decorators that can work along side me to assist me with the final stages of my DIY project and also when I am at my day job people who can work independently. I can offer great company, local knowledge of the Coromandel area and an awesome place to stay!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I love meeting people and learning about culture and what life is like for others. Including, cultural practices, food, art and environment.
Help
Painting and decorating, some handyman repair, gardening, removing used building materials. I will work with you when I am not at my day job.
There is no expectation that volunteers will be asked to do any dangerous tasks and I am fully open to negotiating the tasks with the workawayer/s - you will not be expected to work on tasks without prior discussion and agreement.
There is one building job that can be done by a carpenter with the right skills - the roof on the outdoor seating area does need repair. Otherwise, other tasks can be taken on by the workawayer/s - it would depend on their level of skill and as I have said - all tasks to be negotiated prior to commencing. Ngā mihi nui :)

I am keen to learn language and help to share what I know about Maori/English, however, when all else fails there is google translate to help with communication and ensure that we don't get lost in translation :)
Accommodation
I can offer a furnished room. There is space for a motorhome or van. There is space for a tent.
Where I am not available to cook meals there will be ingredients available for the workawayers to cook for themselves. When I am away at work during the day breakfast and lunch food will be provided. There will be cooked evening meals, either by myself or shared cooking with the workawayers.
