  Beschreibung

  Hi, I'm Ryan and I live on a peaceful acre property in Salt Ash, New South Wales, Australia.
  
  I own and operate a spearfishing, freediving and snorkelling business that I've been running for over 16 years. Most of my time is spent working, fishing, freediving, boating, travelling and exploring the incredible coastline around Port Stephens.
  
  My property is located in a quiet rural area, approximately 20 minutes from Nelson Bay, 22 minutes from Newcastle and only a short drive from Newcastle Airport. There is a bus stop less than a minute away and good access to public transport and the highway.
  
  I enjoy meeting people from different countries and cultures and have hosted many travellers over the years. I am an ID verified host and have reviews available through Abroadly as well as Facebook and Google reviews. I can share the details if you ask for them.
  
  The local area is famous for its beautiful beaches, sand dunes, dolphins, whales, bushwalking trails and clear-water islands. Depending on weather and schedules, there may be opportunities to explore some of these places and experience the relaxed Australian coastal lifestyle.
  
  The household is generally quiet and relaxed. I am often away working or out on the water, so guests usually have plenty of privacy and space. I am looking for friendly, reliable and easy-going people who enjoy the outdoors and are happy to help with general property maintenance, gardening, landscaping and similar projects around the property.
  
  If you enjoy nature, the ocean, wildlife and experiencing a genuine Australian coastal lifestyle, I'd love to hear from you.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I enjoy meeting people from different countries and learning about different cultures, languages and ways of life. Over the years I have hosted travellers from all over the world and have made many great friendships along the way.
  
  Guests have the opportunity to experience authentic Australian coastal living in the beautiful Port Stephens region. I am happy to share local knowledge about the area, including beaches, islands, wildlife, fishing, boating, freediving and the best places to explore.
  
  Through my business, I can also share knowledge about freediving, spearfishing, marine life, ocean safety and local Australian fishing culture. Depending on weather, schedules and interests, there may be opportunities to visit local beaches, lookout points, national parks and other attractions.
  
  I enjoy hearing travel stories and learning about life in other countries, and I believe cultural exchange should be beneficial for both hosts and guests. My goal is to provide a relaxed, welcoming environment where travellers can experience Australian life while sharing their own culture, experiences and perspectives.

  Arbeit

  I'm looking for friendly, reliable and easy-going people who are happy to help around the house and property.
  
  The main tasks include cooking, general household cleaning, laundry, keeping shared areas tidy, and some light gardening and outdoor maintenance.
  
  No special skills are required. I'm simply looking for people with a positive attitude, common sense and a willingness to help out. If you enjoy cooking, keeping things organised and taking pride in your work, you'll be a great fit.
  
  The workload is flexible and we can work around your travel plans and sightseeing. The household is generally quiet as I run my own business and am often away working or out on the water.
  
  In return, you'll have comfortable accommodation, plenty of privacy, Starlink internet, and the opportunity to experience the beautiful Port Stephens and Newcastle region. There are stunning beaches, islands, sand dunes, dolphins, whales, bushwalking tracks and plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures nearby.
  
  This opportunity is ideal for travellers looking for a relaxed Australian coastal lifestyle rather than a busy city environment.

  Dieser Gastgeber bietet Sprachaustausch an
  English is my native language. I know a few basic words and phrases in Polish and Spanish, but not enough to hold a conversation. Over the years I have hosted travellers from many different countries and cultures and have helped many guests improve their English through everyday conversations and daily life in Australia. I enjoy learning about different cultures, traditions and ways of life, and hearing stories from around the world. I'm happy to help travellers practise their English in a relaxed and natural environment, and I always enjoy learning a few new words and phrases from my guests along the way. For me, cultural exchange is one of the most rewarding parts of hosting.
