Leigh

We are a family of 5. Jeremy and Leigh (mum and dad) Emily and Lara twins 15 yo and Adam 17. We come from South Africa but have been living in New Zealand for 13 years. We have a staffie dog called Lockie who we got during covid lockdown. Lockie will go to friends while you're in our home. Jeremy is a Facility's Manager who loves golf and has never played any American courses so that would be exciting. He also loves craft beer especially a hazy. Leigh is a Sales Manager who loves the beach and the outdoors. Markets and quaint small towns also hold a lot of appeal. Anywhere these is a glass of wine (Rose or Sauvignon Blanc) Leigh will be a happy camper LOL. Adam loves food and is intrigued by America as we have never been. The girls Lara and Emily just want to see America and experience different things We are light hearted and a relaxed family that are used to just 'winging it' when things don't turn out exactly as we planned.
