Looking for a long term rental

Moving again to where?....
I will be without a home by 3rd week of March because the place where I live has been sold due to ill health of my landlord.
Last year I moved 3 times, so like to see myself in a more permanent place that also welcomes dog, cats and ideally has a place for one 21- year old horse.

In the meantime I am also considering travelling to see more of New Zealand as I have not seen very much of the beautiful places that my overseas visitors told me about.

So turning into a nice experience this time, I like to travel in my van, while offering my services doing house-sitting, WWOFF-ing/HelpX-ing for a while.

But like to have a base to come back to for the time being.

I am open to relocating, so if you have something that would be suitable and is animal friendly, or know of somewhere or someone who would like to do a house-share or needs a helping hand around the place?

I come with Dasha, a very friendly Briard who has grown up on a life-style block and is used to other animals around. We both have a lot of experience looking after animals in case you need a helping hand.

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

I would not normally post something like this on Neighbourly but I think we can all agree that the death of Captain Tom Moore is sad news.
What can we learn from his death and selfless actions?
