Hi there!

I'm Jennifer, and I’m from Brazil. I’ve been living in New Zealand for nine years now and was once an international student myself, so I understand what it's like to be far from home and family and how important it is for you to feel at home while you're away. I live with my sister (who also came here to study), my Kiwi partner, and our super friendly cat, Maria.

Our home is in Petone, in a great location—there’s a bus stop right in front of the house, and the train station is just a 10-minute walk away. We’re also really close to some great spots: the public swimming pool is a 3-minute walk, Whitireia and WelTec Petone Campus are just 5 minutes away, and Petone Beach is a 10-minute walk. There are also plenty of parks, shops, and even a golf club nearby!

We have a cosy, fully furnished single room available with balcony access. The bedroom is on the same floor as the kitchen, living room, and toilet, while the shower and other bedrooms are upstairs, offering more privacy. There’s also plenty of storage space in the house.

We love cooking and can provide meals for an extra cost. We also enjoy the outdoors, exploring New Zealand, hiking, movies, and games.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out—we’d love to welcome you into our home! :)
