Hi there, Nice to meet you. So a bit about us… we have lived in Wainui, Gisborne since 1980, when we purchased a small 1 room batch on our present site. With only a ‘long drop’, a tap attached to a corregated iron water tank and a 3 month baby we slowly built our house. Three more sons later we eventually had a comfortable home.
Once the boys had left, in 2011 we decided to travel and began housesitting in Australia and then England. Once we were on the other side of the world we decided to explore and so purchased an old van and drove to France. We just kept driving – for a year we travelled Europe and Morocco, clocking up 23, 000 miles.
After returning to NZ for a couple of years we again went back to UK, lived and worked for a year in beautiful Cambridge where we housesat various places.
We then purchased a more upmarket Motorhome and off to Europe we went again for 16 months.
We returned to NZ in 2016, imported our home on wheels and enjoyed exploring our own country.
In 2022 we purchased an RV in the States and spent 6 months each year for 4 years exploring this country finishing in Alaska (possibly our favorite state) before returning to our home in NZ where we currently live.
