  Description

  I’m an easy walk into nelson city, 5 minutes from MTB trails, walking tracks and a bird sanctuary. I live in an old house in a fantastic neighbourhood, really central, really friendly area. I’m kids free at the moment (just me in the house), I work full time & I’m a fluent(ish) French speaker .

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We’ll share dinners together.
  I’ve lived a few years in Japan and in France and I love finding out about other people and their lives & world views, having interesting conversations. I have
  Freddy the rabbit who mainly lives inside and enjoys being quietly petted as well as being fed tasty fresh weeds from the garden.
  
  I’ve lived in the area for years, I’m a big walker & tramper & i can give you tips about fantastic places to go.

  Help

  I would like help with small scale painting & garden projects & general tidy up, inside and out. I’d like someone to work able to work independently. Experience with a paint brush would be helpful but not essential.

  Accommodation

  I have several rooms - both single bed and double - whichever you prefer. You’d have a bathroom mainly for you (it does share the washing machine) - sunny deck and garden. I’m mainly vegetarian & have a fairly whole food diet but I can accomodate meat eaters. I’m happy to cook dinners - but I would be pretty happy if you’re able to share cooking.
  
  All food will be provided - we’ll prepare and eat dinner together - otherwise I’ll make sure the cupboards are stocked so you can prepare breakfast and lunch yourself
