Descripción
We are a multi-cultural family living in New Zealand. We live between our two properties in Auckland and Rotorua and need help with our garden and general maintenance of the property.

Mostly we will require help at our Rotorua property as we have a lot of fruit trees, and trees that require pruning, trimming and maintaining the garden etc. We are also looking to turn the shed into a sleepout, so assistance would be great. We also need help to maintain and clean the property as requested eg.. waterblasting and scrubbing the house, we do this once a year, and also general indoor cleaning.

We have travelled quite extensively as a family and have volunteered around the world as a family as well. I have twin boys aged 16 years old. We welcome anyone who is open minded, caring, compassionate with a positive can-do attitude, willing to help and learn with general household and garden activities.
Spanish speakers are a bonus as my children and I love learning Spanish.
I love Yoga, Zumba dancing and my passion is currently personal development + financial education to the community/children.
My husband Bill loves playing football and is a HUGE Barcelona Fan.

We would need someone to help out for 3-5 days, 2 times a year, 4-5 hours per day.
We will provide accommodation and 2 meals a day in exchange for your help. Breakfast and Dinner.
We have room for 1 workawayer at a time, however can consider a couple.
I'm also looking for any software / IT Gurus who might be able to help me with a side project of mine - app development, internet marketing etc... please contact me if you have any expertise with this.

Rotorua is a huge tourist attraction of NZ full of many adventures and activities to do. We live 10 minutes by car to the town center. We can take you in to town for grocery shopping etc when we do ours..., otherwise there is a local four square supermarket 10 minutes walk.
Ngongotaha town center is a 10 minute walk from our property where you can also catch the bus to the city center. Rotorua has thermal hot pools, skylines, Redwood forest, beautiful lakes and we have many attractions within walking distance from our property like the Lion sanctuary, Velocity, Agrodome and a Bird Sanctuary all on our street.

You are free to explore Rotorua as you like after your 5 hours is done.

You will be hosted either by our family or by my brother, depending on when you come, as our family lives in Auckland, but from time to time, we also come to Rotorua. My brother lives in Rotorua.
Love to exchange stories of travels, life experiences, meditation, different and alternative culture and lifestyles.
