Description
I am Philippa and I live in New Zealand on the beautiful Wairarapa coast. Tora is well known for its surf and seafood. I often get despondent about the work required to maintain my section and need some help to keep on top of it

Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My husband and I travelled extensively and we always love meeting people from other countries. I hope that I can help you on your journey through New Zealand with tips and ideas to make your stay in Aotearoa as memorable as my travels have been.

Help
I have a range of projects coming up from sorting out the grounds to painting and just generally keeping up with stuff! A lot of flax and trees have got out of control and need pruning. This is not difficult work but time consuming.There is always weed control to be done. I am planning a painting project but haven't got a clue how to begin. Someone who knew something about that would be a big help.

Languages spoken
English: Fluent

Accommodation
Queen or King bed available. Private bathroom. I am not really a cook but I will provide food for you to prepare for yourself. Big house with lots of room, beautiful views

What else ...
Tora is famous as a surf destination. There are some great places to walk and with a bit of planning I can possibly organise a farming experience. If you like diving then it may be possible to gather some seafood. Some people enjoy surf casting off the beach.
