  • Description

    Description

    We live in sunny Bay of Plenty New Zealand - semi-rural in the area of Oropi, Tauranga.
    Our family consists of me - Mum, Sarah, Dad, Kyle, two girls; Olive and Willow and our boy Hugo.
    Sarah works full time as a clinical social worker in community mental health and Dad - Kyle runs and owns his own business here in Tauranga specializing in the signage industry.
    We have 2 vivacious and fun loving girls (twins) age 8 who are polar opposites, loving their hobbies of soccer (Olive) and hip hop (Willow). Our cheeky wee boy is 4, turning 5 next April and loves anything that burns our his energy!
    As a family we love fishing, swimming, hiking and eating good food!
    We love a laugh and would love to welcome someone from another culture into our home, who we can learn from and who can provide and educate our children on their culture while providing safety and fun!
