    Description

    Easy going Aussie family living in quiet, safe, picturesque coastal town, 2 hours North of Perth Western Australia. We are looking to chat, preferably with a Vietnamese or potentially Japanese workawayer for a cultural exchange.

    Our 5 bedroom home is newly built, walking distance to the beach and parks and easy bike ride to town.

    We have 4 children, two are grown and left home and 2 at home. Husband works away in the mines on a week on week off roster and I stay at home with our children, a 2yo boy & 13yo girl. We have a tiny dog (chihuahua), one cat and 2 birds.

    Located on the Tourquiose Coast, Our town is small, around 2000 people and famous for its beaches, fresh lobster & fishing, swimming with Sealions at nearby Islands, "The pinnacles", National parks, flora & fauna.
    We are foodies and love experiencing & cooking different cuisines.
    My daughter and I are creative types who enjoy arts/crafty things. And then the weather is nice we love to get out amongst nature.
    I like to write and experience new things.
    My daughter is very much into her sports and our weeks often centre around her training and games.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There are very few similarities between Vietnam & Australia, for a first time traveller the entire experience will be an exploration of the Aussie way of life.

    The exhange we seek is a genuine cultural exchange. We love Vietnam, I would like to learn the language & learn some more traditional meals and in return we can help you improve your English, learn about Australian ways of life and see some of our beautiful country.

    There would be no firm commitment to 'work', more, a very flexible extra set of hands around the home, contributing to the household in a normal capacity as you would your own home, play with our toddler and the occasional solo child care.

    It's important you speak English, enjoy cooking from your culture & are experienced with and love children. If you like gardening that would be an added bonus.
