Description
I live in a very peaceful, beautiful setting with friendly neighbours and on a quiet street. If you're looking for a break from the busy-ness of travelling, this is your place!
Ideally you would have your own transport as I do not live on a bus route.
Please don't rely on me messaging you back quickly - if you find another place in the meantime, I won't be offended at all!!!
I am a single mother, and have my three boys week-on, week-off. You would be staying with me in the off-weeks, so while it's a family home, the boys are unlikely to be here for most of the time.
I work from home on many community projects and have a strong interest in politics in New Zealand. We can have some interesting discussions - I ask lots of questions :)
I speak fluent German.
