Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This is a magical property with direct access to the nature reserve, and bush walks to the beach. Of course Raglan is well know for the surf scene, but there's also a thriving art community, yoga classes, epic coffee, markets and gatherings. We are a friendly family that love to chat and engage with others. We have been based in Raglan for 25 years but spent much of the last 2 decades working in the Maldives, Micronesia, and Indonesia. We can share cultural information about many different countries and share how we lived as global citizens for many years in the surf industry. We love learning about new cultures and hope to learn more about the places our Workawayers come from.
