  • Description

    Kia ora!

    Ko Ben tōku ingoa ~ My name is Ben

    New Zealand is my home, more specifically, a little village called Tōrere, in the Eastern Bay of Plenty. My parents have worked hard for the past 35 years to build a beautiful homestead-styled property where we live life doing what we love. For me, that is woodworking & property maintenance. For my Mum it is gardening, where she grows an abundance of nutrient dense food through every season. For my Dad, it is carpentry, sawmilling & fishing, he has built many amazing & functional buildings, with timber he milled himself.

    At the beginning of 2025, I did my Permaculture Design course in Margaret River, and it gave me some great teachings. I enjoy living in sync with nature, I still have so much to learn.

    I'm quiet by nature, and always looking to explore more creative avenues. I'm trying to learn the guitar and more about music, it's slow going and I find it motivating when around those who have more experience than me.

    If there's a warm space to sleep and some good food, then I'm more than happy to help out where I can.
