Description
We are a family of 7, who after 7 years in South America, mainly Uruguay, have found ourselves a home back in the Australian bush. We have 30 acres of land, with two old churches on it. We have a beautiful dam we use for water sport fun and cooling down. Our three eldest children are in boarding school, so at home it is Matt and Kym, and two little girls, 8 and 10 years.
We have a new garden to establish, the churches to renovate, and the property to tidy up and make a beautiful slice of paradise.
We miss travelling and meeting other explorers, so we are again opening our home to volunteers. We have been Workaway hosts for a long time in different parts of Australia and Uruguay.
We would really love to have Spanish speakers in our home to keep up the Spanish we have learnt over the past few years.
We live 5 minutes drive from the beach and a beautiful, sleepy beach town.
