More details about your skills
I am available to complete most tasks you would have around your home or property. Growing up and living in rural Canada, on an acre of land, I have always participated with household tasks. From yard/ garden maintenance, home repairs and DIY to indoor cleaning, painting and decorating. As pet owner at home and avid animal lover, any place with pets or animals is always a bonus!
With Workaway I have gained a lot more experience painting, gardening and housekeeping. I am self motivated and organized to complete tasks for hosts!

This is the place to be in Ngunguru! Akke has cultivated a little slice of paradise, just a 15min walk from town, across the road from the amazing river! The tiny town has a cafe with the best carrot cake and a nice sports centre, complete with a golf course and a bar/bistro.

Staying at Jane's place was a treat! It's a lovely property in a rural setting, Jane has a bike to borrow and there's a summer shuttle service nearby to get to Kiateriteri. She was very generous in showing me the area and sharing local info. She explained the work well and let me complete it around enjoying the days and exploring the area. We… read more

Kristah stayed with me for 5 nights and my main chore for her was stacking away all the wood I had lying around seasoning and she's done an amazing job. My woodshed has never looked so professionally stacked!!! I love it and won't want to move anything, it's like a work of art. She has also been easy to talk to and it's been a good mix of… read more

Adriana has a slice of heaven out in the country side of the Mapua area. Getting around the area was one giant scenic walk. Such an amazing little homestead, complete with the 3 best dogs and fresh baked goodies. Adriana is busy but very knowledgeable about the area and what are worth the best walks/ areas to see. We found time to socialize and… read more

An amazing welcome to the south island!! Rueben, Sarah and their son were so welcoming to me and made me feel like a part of the family right away. We shared many great chats over dinner/ free time and they had lots of local information to give me on what to see and local life. Rueben gave me tasks that I was comfortable completing and allowed me… read more

What a wonderful human, we miss Kristah already.
One of the most thoughtful smart and involved people we have had.
If you are lucky enough to have her asking to stay do not hesitate!

Kristah was a delight to host - very conscientious and skillful with our paint preparation and cleaning chores, and able to see what needed doing and just get on with it, without needing constant supervision and feedback. She is great company, and we had a lot of fun together. She is welcome back here any time!

Deborah, David (and the dogs) were amazing hosts to me over the recent holiday period. They were so generous in many ways which made my stay so comfortable! We shared many good meals and chats over my stay, and even got to enjoy a dance class with David! They shared their local knowledge with me, took me to local spots/ on errand runs when I… read more
