Description
Hi, we’re Lee and Lisa!
We’re making the most of our early retirement and enjoy travelling during our British wintertime. We first visited NZ in 2009 and have been drawn back time and time again ever since. We’re excited to now visit with a difference, to experience different lifestyles, different places and meet new people on the way. Our workaway experiences will create new memories and allow us to spend more time in our happy place!
Lee has his own business and Lisa was an early years teacher. We can offer gardening and home maintenance, childcare, cooking and house duties. We’re enthusiastic to fit into your family lifestyle for a little while to help where we can.

Undoubtedly this comes from their owning their own rural acreage and home in NE England. They are our 125th and 126th workawayers and I worked each day with them. It has been a… read more
