Description
A very well traveled, well opinionated couple would like to share life experiences at our place (this is NOT a farm) in Kauai Hawaii. Since we have been blessed with a beautiful place we like sharing it with people who want a break from the routine.
We have a hospitality ministry (and an "I know best" attitude).
We help the church by providing accommodation when it is needed for visiting pastors, speakers, musicians and others.
We also like helping the local food bank with fresh fruit when this is available seasonally.
You should not be allergic to mangoes or oranges, limes and lemons, pomegranates, bananas, lichees, green leafy vegetables and herbs.
We have interests in vegetarian cooking and growing our own food. We are interested in helping people out with what resources we have available.
Help around the house is currently our top priority, but as the seasons go by that changes. The majority of the tasks are related to house maintenance and yard chores. Please contact us if you have any skills in this area.
We like to communicate via email. Waiting around for Zoom call is not our thing.
THE MINIMUM STAY IS ONE MONTH. It is NOT one week nor 10 days or anything less than 30 days . Please have the correct necessary documents (aka US citizenship or a green card) to work LEGALLY in the USA . A visitors visa or ESTA does not allow you to work legally in the USA
