CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

We live on a farm between the Tasman Sea and the Southern Alps. I juggle working as well farming, parenting and living.

The we is my partner Ted who is a ranger with the Department of Conservation, and my two daughters aged 18 and 14.

There is an assortment of animals; cats, dogs, horses, chooks, the pig , sheep and cattle that share our world.

PHILOSOPHY

What goes round comes round. We need to give to receive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone on a family trip into the Southern Alps in our back yard and watched the sunset from up high.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can offer a small insight into life here on the coast. We can give you an experience in the native bush, a kayak in the wetland out the back or even just a walk on the beach at sunset (if the weather is playing the game!). Most of all, we can welcome you into our family for the duration of your stay.
