  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Be part of a self efficient set up and see the live in rural New Zealand I can help people assimilate to the New Zealand culture, being from Europe myself and settling here I understand how different some things can be. I can help understand what rural New Zealand life is like and provide leaning about small scale farms as well as growing your own food.
