Description
We are an Italian- Australian family of three (me, my husband and our 17 month old son ).
We live in a lovely country town south west of Sydney (the city is about 50 km - 1 hour 10 minutes by train).
Katoomba is only 1 hour 15 minutes away (by car) and the beautiful beach of Wollongong is an easy 50 minutes drive.
A 20 minute walk will take you to the heart of the town centre where you will find lots of bars, restaurants and shops.
Nice walks nearby and less than 15 minutes drive to the beautiful Mount Annan Botanic Gardens.
If you have a vehicle this will be quicker and easier but if you don't, don't worry, the bus stop is 100 metres from our house and you can easily reach the closest train station ( Campbelltown ) and the two main shopping centres. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Before settling here in Australia with my husband and baby I was a traveler myself, backpacking around Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and Europe. I met so many amazing people along the way and always told myself that one day I would return the hospitality I was lucky enough to receive while traveling. I would love to continue meeting people from around the world and sharing chats and travel stories.
Italian & English are the languages talked in our home so if you are looking to learn / improve your vocabulary this is the right place for practice.
My husband work 5am-3 pm and I’m around mostly of the day as I take care of our son , take him to activities & sport.
We love the outdoor so you are more than welcome to join us for walks when free .
If you love food, with us you will learn to make a delicious pizza , traditional tiramisu and the perfect Aussie bbq ! -
