I am very interested in and well informed about other countries and their cultures. I am always ready to help people improve their spoken and written English. I live in Christchurch near Canterbury University. and am happy to tell people where to go.or take them. I can cater for most Asians being able to cook Thai and Chinese yummy dishes. I appreciate time to correct my writing whilst someone is doing a bit of gardening or boring vacuuming . Workawayers would learn about the New Zealand way of life and our food. I also go sometimes to a farm in South Canterbury to help with garden maintenance . The area is not visited by tourists and has bush, native wood pigeons, lots of sheep and a mountain range behind the homestead. There are good demanding hill tracks in nearby reserves and on the farm.

My garden is quite large and needs weeding. I can only have room for one person. If you can mow lawns or use a De Walt reciprocal saw That will be a bonus. But it is easy to master and safe. I am quite computer literate. If you can use a quad bike that would be a help. Strict conditions when using quad bike, low speed etc. Helmet to be worn on farm if I go there one weekend to the farm which is in South Canterbury in the Hunter Hills.

Algo más...
There numerous shops, banks, Post Office table tennis in Christchurch near this home. People can buy cars or sell them in Christchurch, if leaving to return back to their country.
Christchurch earthquake damage still visible.
People can visit Akaroa and the Hamner Hot Pools. Skiing in winter .
I have had very helpful young men and found their help with some heavier tasks really worthwhile..
Bus transport is just down the road. I appreciate at least 4-5 hours help a day but am flexible if person wishes a day off to visit somewhere.. I prefer some one who is happy to have breakfast at about 8 am, not much later. Also a person who will complete a task thoroughly.
Christchurch has some worthwhile local sights mostly the botanical gardens and our museum (Its closed for earthquake repairs ).. The town is fine for bicycles. I am a good cook. There are good concerts to cater for all tastes.
