Who Are Wayne And Elena?
We are Are New Zealand / Russian Couple who are based in Brisbane Australia.
After 15 Years in The Corporate travel industry. I decided I wanted to retire early. Yes, I would walk away from my $100K job Why? - to be free and not bound to working 24/7 Yes, it was a scary move No, I have not regretted it.
In 2013, I convinced my husband that he quit his job as a Paint and Hardware Salesman and follow a dream we have had travelling around Australia . Combining our passions we purchased Wayne's pride and joy a 1999 Royalstar Motorcycle with trailer in tow.
Having travelled extensively through Asia, we wanted to explore more in a way that would give us an opportunity to meet the locals - what better way than with the idea of Global House Minders.
Our beautiful home in the Pacific
Our beautiful home in the Pacific
As owners of several properties both in New Zealand, Australia and our 2.5 acres in Espiritu Santo Vanuatu, we know what it's like finding the right people to care for your homes.
Our Animals are big part of our family and when we left New Zealand in 2005 we took our entire family to Australia with us - Mum, Dad our son, our 2 cats and a dog! We could not imagine nor entertain the idea of leaving them behind. They are so loved by us - we think they're human.
As we've traveled over the years our son pampered and spoiled them. Sadly Koskha (10 yo cat) passed away in 2009 and Minnie passed away at the grand old age of 16 years old in May 2014. Our remaining baby is Bounce he's now 10 years old.
You can be confident that we will treat your home with the same level of commitment that we put into our own home and properties, we will love your pets with the love we have for our own animals back home.
