We are in Chile for August heading North to Peru. We are looking to work on farms and environmental projects.

Description

We live in Wellington the beautiful capital of New Zealand. We have two adult children who are now living their own lives in other parts of the country so now it is time to achieve a life long dream and travel throughout Latin America. We have traveled within New Zealand and around the world. We are an older couple at the start of a year-long adventure in Latin America. Paul is a secondary geography teacher. Kim is a risk advisor with a science background. We are both interested in wildlife and landscapes, love nature and the outdoors. We are learning Spanish and looking to exchange language and culture with like minded hosts. We are experienced house and pet sitters, have a wide range of practical skills and want to make a positive contribution to the places we visit. We are comfortable doing indoor and outdoor work; painting, home maintenance, gardening, landscaping, cleaning, care of animals. We are looking forward to a fun and meaningful exchange.

We are very interested in learning and improving our Spanish so we can fully participate in the culture and communal life of the places we visit in Latin America. As native English speakers we are very happy to help hosts practice and improve their English.
