    We embrace enviro values and ethics in our daily living and believe that our planet's future depends on global harmony. We would be delighted to introduce you to our region and it's natural highlights. We are well educated and have travelled ourselves and enjoy conversing on a wide range of topics (only in English sorry). My profession is family therapy.

    PLEASE NOTE that I will ask you for at least one recent feedback from host or email contact for a host. I also ask that i can chat to you via phone/messenger/skype/whatsapp beforehand. I've found this really helps to ensure that we can all be clear about what how it will work best for you and also for us.

    Please note that our little town is about a 25min car drive to Geelong where there are train and bus options to various locations including Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road. On occasions i can assist with transport but as I may not always be available, I'd need you to be up for independantly availing yourself of the local bus or uber/taxi if you want to explore further afield.
