Description
I have trained as a water sports instructor and have just finished a season in Wales on the Wye Valley. I have been taking groups of families and schools along the rapids. I have also trained as a mountain leader and rock climber. This involved first aid and leadership training. I am excited to come to Thailand and then New Zealand. It's my first long trip abroad and am keen to meet new people and explore. New Zealand looks like it has exciting water sports and mountains. I have been doing landscape gardening and have my UK and international driving licence. I can help in lots of different areas. I am willing to work hard and am a good cook.

Sam was exactly what Nigel needed; willing, keen, helpful and okay with Nigel's erratic hours. With guidance Sam was able to carry out all tasks that were asked of him and he was interested in learning new skills.
Thanks for all your help and for being easy to have in our home. All the best with the rest of your travels.

This host is a must when you come and vist or just travelling through New Zealand. Jacqui and Nigel are the best of hosts, hard workers and just lovely to be around. Every day there are good jobs to do around the property and more on the land in the bush that they own. I have stayed for 11 days and I enjoyed every second of being here with them… read more
