Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I enjoy meeting new people & have also travelled extensively & learnt French - a long time ago!. I work in the tertiary education sector in international management and am passionate about biodiversity and nature. I can share lots of ideas of what to see in New Zealand, especially the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Central Plateau & Coromandel Penninsula.
Help
I work from home & garden in my spare time. But life has been busy & I'd love help with basic house repairs, waterblasting, weeding, light chainsawing & spring cleaning.
If you're energetic, willing to tackle a range of tasks, have practical skills and are honest, friendly & like dogs please apply. We would love to meet you.
