Suzanne & Roger

Our status

Description

We're Suzanne and Roger and have lived in Wellington, New Zealand for over 10 years after moving from the UK. In 2017/18 we took a year off work and took the opportunity to house and pet-sit https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/new-zealand/wellington/wellington/l/226883/
around Europe and also discovered Workaway for the first time in Southern France.
Now that we're back in New Zealand we'd like to build on our first great Workaway and use our holidays to explore parts of New Zealand we haven't been to yet, meet new people and offer our skills wherever they may be of use. Both Roger and I are very practical people. As a Project Manager, I'm all about getting the job done. Roger's managerial roles in volunteer lead organisations and community engagement means he is an excellent communicator and people person. We have renovated 3 houses together so whilst our skills in this area are definitely at the DIY level, we have lots of experience of the hard work necessary to bring life back into old homes and gardens.
Our year away was all about getting out of our comfort zones, learning new skills and living differently so we are looking forward to seeing what opportunities, that we have never considered before, may come our way now we are back home.
