  Descripción

  I am a potter, gardener and a student in Te Reo Māori. We live on a large section on the edge of Ōtautahi Christchurch which backs onto the Port Hills. I live with my husband Hugh who is an urban designer, an elderly cat, chook and a sheep. I grow most of our vegetables and fruit in our garden. We love that we can bike (15 minutes) into the city to go and see music, shows or visit a gallery, go for a mountain bike ride up on the hill or bike to Sumner via the summit road for a swim from our door. We are an hour and a half drive from the ski fields and multi day hiking options and 20 mins from the beach. We both enjoy open water swimming but in summer we mostly swim in our pool. We have two elderly mothers, adult kids and a grandchild that visit often.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We love cooking and sharing food. We often have family and friends over for meals. I enjoy sharing gardening knowledge, and speaking Te Reo. We both worked with Councils and the Department of Conservation and have lots of information we can share about our city, local recreation opportunities, and environmental projects. We try to live sustainably; growing food, composting, recycling, biking and using public transport when we can. We love travelling and have biked and walked in Europe, Asia, South America and the pacific. We can speak a little Spanish, Italian snd French and love to test our memories. We enjoy meeting people from other countries and hearing about where they live, local cuisine and how they live. Really open to learning from others in the garden or other skills they may have as well.

  Ayuda

  Mostly work will involve gardening- weeding, moving compost and soil around and planting trees. We have some landscaping work to create more vegetable gardens and orchard space and a community vege plot to create. There may also be some paint/ oil preparation and painting. I will be working alongside most of the time.

  Alojamiento

  We have a studio with a double bed separate from the house. This has a bathroom , cooking facilities and washing machine. We will provide tea and coffee and a basic breakfast that people can help themselves to in the studio. You will share lunch and dinner in our house. You will also be able to prepare food or reheat meals in the studio. We eat all food but happy to prepare vegetarian or vegan food. Gluten Free folk may have to provide some of their own basics depending on what we have in the cupboards.
