  Beschreibung

  We are a small family living on rural property in Western Victoria. We take care of dogs, and we have horses and chickens. We have a large vegetable garden, lawns, paddocks and shedding. We love hosting people and are a social household. We work from home often and host friends regularly. We are very, very easy-going and well-travelled people who love to learn from other cultures and teach others about our own. We love to cook and go on walks, and spend time with our local community.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We love to cook and host our local friends and family for dinner parties and bbqs, and love to get to know people from all around the world. Both my husband and I have lived in Oceania, Asia, and Europe. My husband is from Victoria but worked extensively overseas. I am from New Zealand and have also lived and worked extensively overseas. We bring a large community of friends and a network of opportunities all over our local area. And we are open to sharing our life and experiences with others.
