Description
I live in a beautiful home with a large garden that I’m slowly turning into a peaceful, welcoming space full of life with myself and my husband, close to Motueka, Tasman.
I love meeting new people, sharing stories, and working together with others who appreciate nature, creativity, and simple living. I see Workaway as a great opportunity to exchange culture, learn from one another, and create something meaningful side by side.
