Description
I enjoy meeting people, sharing ideas, experiences and meals. I produce community radio, listen to live music and, if it's not too cold, swim in the sea for fun.
I offer short term accommodation in exchange for help with general household cleaning and specific projects, depending on the skills and interests of my guests.
From guests I expect respect for me and my home and a fair exchange of labour for accommodation & food. I eat meat and dairy but can cater for vegetarians & vegans if needed. -

Accommodation
A large room in a studio style apartment. The room has a double bed and desk. There's also a pullout single bed. Shared bathroom with a shower. Washing machine available.
Note: If you have a car or van you need to make your own arrangements as I cannot offer car parking for more than one night. -
What else ...
I live in the social & cultural heart of Wellington so there's always something happening. Guests are welcome to join me when I go out to listen to blues/jazz /afrobeat music. And, if you like wild swimming, I swim in the nearby sea when the weather is good.

Maybe it was a culmination of miscommunication, misunderstandings or just a lack of will to hear the other side of the story. This wasn’t a good match from the get go and when you get a feeling like that, my fellow workawayers, you should probably stick to it.
