Travelling
Description

Originally from the UK, I have been travelling for nearly 2 years now. I started in South America, and worked my way up to Canada before flying to New Zealand from September last year.

I love being surrounded by nature, animals and nice humans in a peaceful and tranquil environment. I've really developed a love for gardening and animal care over the last couple of years, and alongside my social personality, have really started to enjoy the peace of my own company occasionally. Although I used to have a 9-5 job working on a desk as a Data Manager I have since learnt a more active and varied day to day is how I'd like to spend my time.

I stayed with Damon for a little over a week and just had an absolute blast. My main job consisted of looking after Pip, his very cool and well behaved dog, as well as completing some other odd jobs such as gardening and wood stacking.

I spent a week at Linda's and I can honestly say I had an amazing time! Linda as person and a host is incredibly warm, sociable and quirky. I was mostly working outside with jobs including salting the drive, wood stacking, weeding, harvesting self seeded potatoes and other odd jobs, also a tiny bit of housework. In the evenings we would play … read more

Summer was the most helpful of helpers. She came here at a time when I was `physically challenged' and really needed someone who could do everything I couldn't - and Summer was exactly what the doctor ordered. She did heaps of heavy garden work, hauling bags and buckets of soil and manure, and digging grass and getting all the roots out - planting … read more

I spent just over a week at Sarndra's and had a really lovely experience here. Sarndra as a host is just the most kind and attentive person, who couldn't do enough for me.
