  • Description

    Description

    We are Carina from Sweden and Tony from New Zealand, 1 cats and 6 dogs all from Fiji.
    We own 2 acres of land that we are currently developing on.
    We live in the west, only 15 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from Lautoka and 35 minutes from Nadi. The ocean is just across the road.
    Our garden needs a lot of work since it grows very fast here and, we can't always keep on top of it.
    Me, Carina, have 18 bee hives and a veggie garden to work on as well.
    I also rescue animals when I find those in need or discarded.

    Only serious workawayers is needed, preferably 20+ years.
