  Description

  Hi! My name is Eb and I am originally from Ireland and my partner, Duncan, is a Kiwi. We have two little boys, aged 2.5 and 6 months. We live 5 minutes outside of Masterton on a property with a nice rural vibe to it while being close to town. I used to be a workawayer myself and love meeting new people, especially from different cultures. We are hard workers and have a big extended family so there is always something to do.
  
  This would suit anyone who is happy to part of a busy household.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are an Irish/Kiwi couple so you will hear lots of debates about which country is better. That being said, our family enjoys many aspects of the typical Kiwi lifestyle. Between the outdoors, hunting and fishing (seasonal) you will be sure to get a taste of the traditional New Zealand way. We also have a few blocks of land with sheep and beef and occasionally have different farm work to do there. We enjoy meeting new people from different cultures and love sharing ours. Eb, in particular, likes different languages and customs.

  Aide

  We have recently renovated our house so there are lots of unfinished jobs and future projects both inside and outside. We have a 2.5 year old and 6 month old who are very active and get bored of mums face if you are comfortable with children.
  
  Occasionally, we could do with a hand with computer stuff if you are that way inclined. We will share dinner together and can all help out with food preparation and tidy up. My partner is a butcher and a fisherman (seasonal) and is always tinkering about outside. Hunting is a popular pastime in our household and, if you were interested, there could be an opportunity to be involved.

  I love hearing different languages being spoken, especially Spanish. Always happy and patient to practice English. I'd like the kids the be around different languages and cultures too.
