I live in a small town in Central Otago, New Zealand. Love to experience all sorts of things and adventures. Enjoying meeting new people and helping out, learn new thing and tasting new foods.
Description
Hi. I'm an active person with lots of life experience who enjoys traveling and mixing with people. I like to see more of a country than just the "tourist" spots and experience different cultures. I have two married daughters, one is a dairy farmer and the other is a sheep, beef and deer farmer. I have two lovely granddaughters, one is 9 and the other is 12 and a very active grandson who is 4. I live in a wee house in Central Otago. I have a lovely wee Maltese's dog, Dottie, who is 4yrs old and will stay with a friend while I'm away. I enjoy fishing and hunting (deer, pigs, goats and rabbits). I have a very productive vegetable garden and have developed the flower garden round my new home. I tutor people who work on dairy, sheep, beef and deer farm to get their National Certificates. I do a range of hand crafts and am learning to paint. I have worked at the local restaurant serving food and can pull a pint for thirsty patrons.

I was lucky enough to help here for 2 weeks before I left Sri Lanka. I got to have my own wee tent accommodation and it was great. The farm is in a very rural area so don't expect a lot to do once you have finished helping out for the day. You can walk round the small village. There is a couple of small shops, unless you go back to the junction.… read more

I had a great time here. Isha and Inderjeet were great hosts. The room was very comfortable and the meals were lovely. Helped with delivering pamphlets, weeding, cleaning round the Mango trees and paths and with the guests who came. Even got to work with the pony's to show them how to groom them.
The 3 dogs are very friendly and like a pat and… read more

I had a great experience here. The first being the local bus trip from Varanasi. I got to help out in the kitchen peeling potatoes and making Roti (lots of Roti)!! The students in the hostel were lovely and very polite. Was on monkey duty, a couple of times, as they try to get in the kitchen and take the lunch food. Helped cart some bricks as… read more

This was my first Workaway in India and it was great. Anand is pretty laid back and an amazing musician. He showed us round the Ghat and the small streets. He told us heaps of things about some of the main Ghats along the river and on the Diya Diwali we went down in the evening to see all the Ghats and the other side of the river lite up by… read more

The location is out of town a bit but that is good as it's nice and quite. We got to do lots of different things, painting, picking coffee and processing it so it could be dried, weeding and removing old crops. The meals were nice and rooms comfortable. Learnt a lot about the community group they have for farming in this area. About a 15min walk… read more

I had a great time here. Some basic tasks in the morning and then got to explore the area. I played badminton with young boys, helped a lady get her new baby goats to feed off mum, played on the BIG swing and helped prepare food with the other workaways there. As it was festival time we got to experience some of the things that happen. We went to… read more

Thank you Stefan for letting me come to your lovely home and amazing farm. Loved picking your brain, it was my favourite thing :joy::joy::heart:.
It is an adventure in itself getting from the airport to the farm.
The land is bleak on a shitty day but ruggedly beautiful on a clear, windless day.
Thank you for letting me feed you and all the other… read more

Lyn is a great gal! We knocked quite a few chores off of the "To Do" list while fitting in a couple of fun outings. She is kind and congenial. I enjoyed my time with Lyn and I hope to see her again one day!

I had two amazing weeks here with Darhl. Loved being back out on a farm. Picked lots of different berries, and ate quite a few in the process lol. Made lots of jam so when I get back home I’ll be on fire for the jam making at the local show. Was there when Zoe had her puppies ❤️❤️❤️❤️:heart:. We went to the Rodeo down the road which was fun and… read more

Lynn was awesome! She came in and could totally organize what I was doing BETTER than I ever could! She is a jack of all trades! Whether it's building, cooking, cleaning, handling my dog, or just being a great conversationalist! She rolled with the fun times and hard times here in the bush with me. And did a great job putting up with a single old… read more

Lyn is a wealth of knowledge and experience. We made crabapple butter from September's harvest that I had frozen, this was a high priority for me, but something I had never done. Not a problem for Lyn! We ended up with 7 delicious pint jars. While starting seeds, transplanting or driving into town, we talked about all kinds of things, I felt like… read more
