Description
I’m a young professional living in the beautiful township of Havelock - the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds.
I am well traveled and love adventuring in my own back yard here in Marlborough.
I am also very creative & crafty. Watercolour & urban sketching are some of my favourite hobbies. I’m also into Sailing & Orienteering/Rogaines/Adventure racing.
My house has a self contained sleepout with ensuite which would be where I would accommodate you.
I live a high speed life with a demanding job but I am conscious & curious / open to learning about new cultures, ideas & philosophies. I am super social, although I don’t drink or smoke. Visitors are welcome to have a few chill drinks with dinner, please bring your own.
I love food & cooking. My home is open to all eaters, although you may need to cater for certain special ingredients (eg: gluten free) if you have specific dietary requirements.Types of help and learning opportunities
