Housesitting and cuddling our kitten in Nuku'alofa, Tonga

  Descripción

  We have volunteered and travelled all over the world and we loved every second of it. All of the rich experiences it brought us are our favourite memories.
  
  We now live on a beautiful island in Tonga and we would love to have travellers come stay, and experience the culture here.
  
  If you are available over Christmas period, we would love to have someone stay for 2 weeks and take care of our kitten! His name is baked bean! We will be heading home from December 19- January 5th.
  
  Our project is simple: Help us out for a few hours a week and you can stay here in our home. Help can look how you like. Maybe you’re great in the garden, great at cleaning, a good artist who wants to contribute to our decor, maybe you’re a whizz in the kitchen and want to whip up dinners. We are both learning instruments, maybe you can give us lessons? We are open to how you and to contribute. Maybe you just want to use the house as a base and go do some good in the community- be our guest.
  
  We have a raised garden, a tropical yard, and a fully equipped kitchen with a coffee machine.
  
  It’s just my Partner and I. Plus our little kitten, baked bean. I’m a teacher and he is an engineer. We both love travel, food, gardening, outdoors, hiking, and finding the fun in life. We have a private room and bathroom for travellers. We aren’t an organisation, just a couple of travellers like you.
  
  Tonga is a beautiful place to sink your teeth into. We really just want to pay it forward and help share some of the travel experiences we had ourselves.
  
  We live in Nuku’alofa. Near to beautiful coral walls, local villages, tropical food forests, and so much beauty. If you love snorkelling, cycling, the beach, or experiencing different culture, you’ll love Tonga.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We live amongst locals Tongans and in the centre of the island. Near our house is the ocean, waterfront, fishing, snorkelling, and plenty of natural beauty. Perhaps you can learn some Tongan and make friends with the locals.
  
  We hope that we can learn from you and enjoy your company. We hope that you can learn from us and enjoy ours. All we ask is for consideration and respect. For us, the house, and the community we live in.

  Alojamiento

  We have a spare room with a queen bed. It has its own bathroom and shower. It’s at a seperate end of the house to our own bedroom/ bathroom.
  
  We have a large 3 bedroom house and garden. We cannot provide a car for you but could find a bike! Or you can rent one quite cheaply (40 TOP per day).
  
  We hope that you might join us for dinners or meals out at times, but are happy to cook separately too. We don’t have dietaries, but are happy to accomodate them. We provide accomodation, wifi, and water. We’d expect you to cover your food costs, or chip in for them.

  Algo más...

  There aren’t buses or trains here so your best to get around by foot or bike if close by.
  
  Theres a problem with dogs in the streets and they can be aggressive so we really recommend a car. It would also allow you to explore outer areas of the island which are the prettiest parts of Tonga!
