Descrição
I'm a young pensioner living on 4 acres of land (next to 25 acres of covenanted native bush) that I am re-wilding and creating some biodiversity for animals, insects and birds to find a safe home. There is a lot of gardening but also small building projects too. As I have increasing arthritis in my joints I need people who are happy to work independently on their own once they're shown a task and are confident of what is required. I grow most of my own veg, make my own sourdough bread and live quite simply.
Mangawhai is a vibrant community with a wonderful coastline of surf beaches, two great Farmers Markets, a Community Garden and walks in the Brynderwyns and the Mangawhai Heads Cliff Walk which is part of the Te Araroa trail.
I am vegetarian with a lot of vegan food but I also occasionally eat fish. The accommodation is separate from the house (no bathroom, that's in the house), a lovely outside deck to sit on and a small cooking area in the Hobbit Hut for preparing meals for yourself, with food that I provide. I envisage us eating 1 or 2 meals together, which I'm happy to cook but love learning new recipes too.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
I'm a typical kiwi but have traveled extensively, I am always delighted to meet people from different cultures. I also sing once a week with a small group of people.
Ajuda
Ecological garden help, establishing diodiversity, small building projects (platform near Hobbit Hut to sit on in the midday summer sun, when the Hobbit Hut deck is too hot, erecting a wire fence, small hothouse), mow lawns, always house tasks to do on a rainy day etc. I do appreciate having someone who is used to outside garden tasks. I am also part of a trapping initiative (unfortunate but necessary, to establish native bird habitats here again) so help checking and resetting possum & rat traps if you are ok with that sort of help

Alemão: Fluente
Inglês: FluenteEste anfitrião oferece intercâmbio de idiomas
I speak fluent English and German, a few words of French and 2 sentences in Japanese but I am always open to learning more and have often had to speak slowly in English so people can understand me. I know how difficult it is to understand when native speakers talk so fastAcomodação
Separate Hobbit Hut with kitchenette and small table, large outside private deck area, very cosy.
Algo mais...
Wonderful surf beaches, nesting spot of the critically endangered Tara Iti, Brynderwyns for walking, coastal walkways, Farmers Markets (2), fabulous cafes and the famous Bennett's Chocolate shop, art galleries, State-of-the-Art skateboard park, easy drive to Whangarei and the Hundertwasser Museum, Waipu glowworm caves, safe estuary for kayaking and swimming. A car is necessary to visit any of the above, there is no public transport passing my house. I'm happy to pick people up from Wellsford or Kaiwaka if they are arriving by bus.

This is a perfect place for anyone who is interested in the nature, plants and native bush of New Zealand, as Wendy is quite the arborist. And knows a lot about plants and birds as well. She has also seen more of the world than most of us. I could listen… read more
