Descripción
Hi my name is Jennie I live in a beautiful historical home over looking the ocean in New Plymouth, Taranaki, NZ the 2nd best region to visit in the world 2017 according to the Lonely planet. Originally we came from the UK and settled in this place of Paradise 33 years ago. I was widowed 9 years ago and our family has grown up and flown the nest. Recently I have remarried to a wonderful man who came to do Workaway at my place and I have a golden retriever called Rosie who is 13 years old. I am close to town and the amazing walkway and on a clear day can see the mountain that dominates our region. There is so much to do and see here. We love hosting people, we are retired but run various kids and youth leadership programmes and camps. Especially for those that want to train for Christian mission and leadership. I have traveled a number of times each year to the Philippines for cross cultural Christian and medical missions. I have a large garden and historical home both of which are always in need of some attention and Holiday home 20 minutes away in Onaero.

My garden is quite large and borders a river and grows so prolifically it is always in need of pruning, weeding and sweeping. My house too is over a 100 years old and is in need of some touch ups and a bit of painting. I also have a holiday Home which I need help getting cleaned at times.
We work with kids and youth and love for them to meet new people from overseas and hear all about their culture and life journey.

Hello Jennie, thank you very much for the great time I had at your place. I spent 2 weeks in the beautiful house of Jenmie. The place is just impressive. The work was varied: I've done some tree cutting, hedge trimming, wood chopping, pruning and some other gardening work. I had a lot of fun there. I could join Jennie to one of her youth group.… read more
