There is no better way
to get some impression what life is really like in New Zealand than through staying
with the hosts at homestay. My husband and I visited Auckland
at the beginning of December 2014. It was the chance for us to spend 3 months
seeing the way of life in New
Zealand through the eyes of people who live
there.
We lived in a 2-stored
house in Birkdale. Every day we enjoyed friendly atmosphere that we feel not
only from our hosts but also from their 2 wonderful cats. We really feel
accepted in the family and experienced the lifestyle of our hosts, their
leisure activities, their hobby (dancing tango) and much more. Our evenings
were full of stories, laughter and fantastic food. Even a family’s daily
routine became a fascinating experience for us.
In 3 months we went
home with great memories and a good impression of New Zealand , it’s life and people.
We stay in contact with our hosts and enjoy hearing about what is happening in
their lives.
