CURRENT MISSION

Living the rural life

ABOUT ME

Hi! We're a married couple living about 45 mins out of Auckland CBD. We live on an airfield, which is rather unique. While we have a lot of space for couch surfers, we do live quite a way out and public transportation is very sparse. Please read our profile carefully and request if you really are interested in the rural area!

We had a baby girl in Oct 2009!!

PHILOSOPHY

Why do I live my life? That's a hard one...I'll get back to you.
