Connecting with Workaway people who are traveling in New Zealand. Happy to offer local knowledge and host you for a day on Waiheke Island or Downtown Auckland.

Descrição

We have arrived home and are already planning our travel for August - November, 2025. We love contributing to English Language Immersion programmes, language/cultural exchanges, companionship opportunities, gardening projects, household chores and housesitting. If you would like us to help you, please contact us. Thanks!

We are life partners who moved to New Zealand from the United States. We raised twin children and enjoyed our careers. Now, we're ready to have new experiences.

We can help you with gardening, odd-jobs, household tasks, house-sitting and improving your English language skills. We are also interested in supporting sustainability projects.

We both have gardening experience from taking care of our own gardens. Richard nurtures the fruit, avocado, olive and macadamia nut trees in our backyard as well as the shrubs and grounds. Leslie volunteers at the local community garden, growing vegetables and herbs. In the last 3 years, we have volunteered on two organic vineyards, two lifestyle properties and an organic farm.

As homeowners of many years, we have experience managing the upkeep of our house. We have done indoor painting, outdoor oiling and staining, minor furniture repairs, decorating, organising and deep cleaning. We are happy to help with your home as it if was our own.

We are both native English speakers and have been teachers so we can help others learn or practice English.

Leslie is also happy to share her professional coaching, training and programme evaluation skills.

We are very willing to help, happy to share and open to learn. We look forward to meeting new people, understanding different cultures, developing new skills and making new friends.

Richard: I am a calm, quiet, self-sufficient, thorough and dependable person. I love books and wine. taught education and psychology, at universities in the United States, Malaysia and New Zealand. It was there that I developed effective organisational and collaborative skills as well as my barista skills. I'm known for getting things organised, seeing what needs to be done and making it happen.

Leslie: I am an optimistic, fun-loving, curious, reliable person. I am known for being excellent at cleaning, organising and downsizing. As a business and life coach, I help people communicate, work better with others and solve problems. I endeavour to incorporate these skills in my own behaviour.

We both enjoy being in nature to hike, camp, kayak and cycle (our new hobby). We also enjoy going to museums, concerts, theatre and festivals.
