Alison

After farming and teaching in Hawkes Bay for 22 years, I spent two years in my motorhome travelling New Zealand, mostly the South Island and now have a base in Motueka, top of the South Island.
I've enjoyed working a variety of interesting seasonal jobs and exploring areas in depth.
With my age comes enough years to have been a junior school teacher, farm owner manager, librarian, in earlier years nursing, and a certified Dru Yoga Teacher.
I used to breed Australian terriers and different varieties of chickens alongside the sheep and beef operation I ran hands on with my husband at the time.
Outside of work I enjoy cold water swimming, cycling, walking, yoga along with the pattern fitting side of sewing.
I look forward to looking after different homes and pets.
I was born in Australia and spent my first 25 years there before heading to Europe and Africa for a few years.
My siblings all live in the Sydney and Blue Mountains regions, my three adult daughters all live in Melbourne and I love visiting often with a plan to eventually move permanently.
