Description
I am a woman who likes gardening and do-it-yourself (DIY)) projects. I don't like cooking so when you prepare meals for us to share it will be considered part of helping. We can go shopping together and I will buy ingredients for the dishes you prefer to make.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I enjoy having conversations about many things. I have been reviewed by guests and WorkAwayers as being a good and patient communicator who is interesting to talk with. I was both a guest and a host with one of the original hosting organisations (another organisation, started in about 1945 that was a hosting organisation promoting peace and cultural exchange). I started hosting with them in 2002. I attend events in the local music and theatre scenes (I have acted in plays and films in the past). I also like to walk on the beach in the evening because I love Darwin sunsets.
Help
I want travellers to help with cooking, cleaning, gardening, and maintenance tasks such as fixing hooks, etc to walls, painting furniture, etc., and outside items too.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
French: Beginner
Accommodation
My Info: The bedroom, and the entire house, is air-conditioned and has fans. The household is also quiet. (Sometimes, if I have a single WorkAwayer wanting to come when I can't offer a bedroom I provide a proper single-bed mattress in the lounge/sitting room to sleep. I will explain this beforehand, if this is the case, so you can decide if you wish to accept my offer.)
For cooking, as part of your exchange contribution, I have an extensive range of different foods, herbs, and spices.
What else ...
There is a local (free) recreational lake quite close-by which has waterslides (that are also free).
There is a crocodile park quite close too.
There are numerous buses going in different directions from the local bus stops.

Anne cleaned and cooked so much it is too difficult to list everything she did. She was conscientious, thorough and needed little instruction to complete a job well.

Amongst other things, Joey fixed my leaking toilet cistern and a front screen door, both of which had been worrying me for ages.
