  Descrição

  Hi there,
  We are a young multicultural family of 3: Luisa from Germany, Gabriel from Brazil and Baby Marley, born here in New Zealand, is currently 4 months old. We live in a small but lively and popular surf town called Raglan in New Zealand. Luisa is still on maternity leave and breastfeeding Marley whilst Gabriel is working. In our free time, we enjoy going on walks, meeting friends and spending time in the ocean (swimming, surfing or taking our SUP out). We have no animals and are following a vegetarian diet and we ask our volunteers to not consume any meat on our property. We are living a pretty simple and quiet life so a workawayer with a similar outlook in life is a must!
  
  Luisa has been a backpacker herself 10 years ago, has traveled the world and has experience as a volunteer. She is now excited to give that opportunity to travelers as a host.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  *The spoken language at home is English so that is something that you can expect to be immersed in and we are happy to help you learn and improve your English.
  *We also speak German and Portuguese if that is something you want to practice.
  *Gabriel and I both surf so we could teach you if you are interested.
  *You will have access to a Stand up paddle board and potentially your own surfboard for your stay here
  * Luisa and Gabe are both trained in Osteopathy and bodywork and Luisa has worked as Yoga teacher so if that's of interest to you, we'll have lots to share

  Ajuda

  Life is hectic with a newborn and we require some help with various tasks.
  
  Primary ( experience in these fields is a must)
  *Building projects: building a compost toilet, an outdoor shower and fixing things around the house
  *Gardening: setting up a veggie garden.
  
  secondary
  *cooking/housework: we would expect our volunteers to cook at least one meal per week and help with chores around the house if there's spare time
  *babysitting (this help is optional, only if you are interested): Baby Marley is currently 4 months old and is still breastfeeding, therefore babysitting would be for 1 to 2 hours max at a time

  Acomodação

  There are several options available depending on the time of the year and your preference. For all options you would use the bathroom and kitchen inside our small house at this stage, however, we are in the process of building an outdoor bathroom so that would be an option at some point. You will have your own private area to sleep in which will be either...
  A) a converted van parked on our property (or sleep in your own converted van if you have one)
  B) Once repaired (which you can help with) we have an insulated Tipi that you can use
  
  If you are travelling in a converted van or similar we have plenty of space for you to park your vehicle and sleep in there
  
  Food is included however we follow a plant based diet. You will have your own fridge if you wish to buy some of your own food & drinks.

  Algo mais...

  Raglan is a very small but super vibrant little town. Mostly famous for its world-class waves. There are a lot of walks in nature you can do, spend time at the beach, surf, go to cafes and in summer there are a lot of music and art events happening too.
  
  Having a car is pretty essential in New Zealand and unfortunately, we won't be able to provide you with a car, although we can give you a ride when we go somewhere. We have one bicycle you can use and our house is less than a 10-minute walk to the town center but getting to and from the surf beach would be difficult if you don't have a vehicle, however there's plenty of people hitch hiking if this appeals to you if we are not available
