Moved to Wellington from Vienna few years ago and getting settled in gradually. Living together with my fifteen years old son and looking for new friends, locals or travelers.

My place is quite booked out at the moment, so the chance for you is not the best especially if your request is very short term.

Another option (especially for short term requests):
I have a mini van (Toyota Previa) equipped with a very comfortable bed for two and a camping equipment, which I am offering for renting at very competitive rate. Ideal vehicle for two, who want to have a car and a bed to sleep all in one.
If you are interested just ask.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm still keen to learn. I can share my live experience (but only if you are interested in).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty passionate cook. Polish, Bohemian-Austrian or just world cuisine. I don't mind helping out with cleaning or other things that need a hand while I'm around.
