Gumboot Paradise

Hi my name is Shelly AKA Gumboot Girl. Watch as I work towards setting up my own Glamping site on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand close to Barrytown. 
I love the tiny house movement and currently live off grid in a bus complete with an outdoor composting toilet and shower.
I am a lover of Jesus, worship leader, artist, mother and entrepreneur.  As a kid I loved to watch a programme called "the Good Life" and this has inspired me to grow my own food in a home made tunnel house and garden, make compost and more recently create a tropical food Forest. I am a "hands on"  DIY kind of girl and like to use Number 8 wire, kiwi ingenuity. I am into recycling, living close to nature and making beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces is one of my passions.
