Who is Zilchoo?


Otaki Zilchoo is a website dedicated to Otaki and Te Horo and finding all things to see and do for free! This website was inspired by my parents Chrissy and Brian Anderson.

zilch (zilch) zero, nothing, free, nil
oo (Oh) ohh my goodness it's free!

 I live in London and they came over for the birth of my first child, Harrison. Looking to make their dollars spend well against the pound, they asked me to help them find free things to see and do in London.

Unable to find a website with free venues, I decided to make my own. London Zilchoo was so successful that I wanted to create the same site for Otaki.

 Otaki Zilchoo is a non profit website, along with a community blog and Facebook page. It has now become a family project, I'm based in London, but Mum and Dad in Otaki are always supporting me supplying me with useful information and details.

About Me!
I grew up in Otaki, I'm a former Otaki primary and Otaki College Student, I had a wonderful time growing up in Otaki and wanted to share all the amazing things there are to see and do for free. I live in London with my husband, Gerald and my son (who's almost two) Harrison.  I work full time at a technology company managing the companies social media sites. Managing Zilchoo is a hobby which I thoroughly enjoy and love learning new technologies.

Feedback
I'd really like to hear back from you, your feedback, comments, thoughts or suggestions on locations or attractions that should appear on the website.

 Thanks
Claire

The Long Walk Home (Day 2) - By Zoe Mounsey

The Long Walk Home – day two Day two started very early for me and I was soon on the train to Mana ready to do it all again – a hot bath and a good night’s sleep had ensured that I was still raring to go.  My walking partner was not quite so raring to go as was suffering from a sore ankle but she had strapped it up and joined me at the start. The words of encouragement on the second day were from Porirua’s mayor and we were soon on our way.
