    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I have hosted many wonderful helpers and enjoy the company and learning about their homeland and aspirations Many have become fb friends.

    Wotkawayers will be eat with us and if their English is limited, I am experienced in helping with this. I use a range of tools to help with conversation. I will talk to them about New Zealand and I also enjoy learning about their country. I have travelled extensively.

    Help

    There are all sorts of jobs to do round the farm. All outside work, including gardening.

    I will mostly work alongside the Workawayers, so we can talk as we work. I have had helpers from other websites in the past who are now Facebook friends.

    The work will include weeding the gardens, helping around my small hobby farm, including the goats. As I am an older woman, I need help with heavier tasks, but the work will not be excessive.
