A new place to be.
My name is Peter, am 59 and I am looking for a new abode. I have lived in many different settings from rental and lease arrangements including doing part payment plus helping with property maintenance, house sitting, in caravans, wwoofing and living in alternative, sometimes organic on or off the grid small communities. I am opening myself to what is coming my way and invite you if you have space for me to live to contact me. I work in the support worker industry here in Tauranga and used to run a health retreat for many years in NZ offering counseling, life coaching and other alternative therapies. The kind of accommodation must be where I still have a level of independence while enjoying a social and interactive time with others. I am willing to look as part rental payment to help support people with illness, disability, depression, anxiety and some addiction. I am available to meet you now so if you have a space for me to settle in for a while and perhaps like the idea of someone sharing a home, lifestyle property or other setting please contact me at 02041741215 and please leave a message if I do not answer.
