Description
I live on the beautiful Central Coast region of N.S.W. with my pet dog Sasha , in a community of good neighbours who all help ach other. My beautiful husband, Ken recently passed away, so there are larger jobs and projects that I need extra help with as I am a senior person. our young grandchildren often visit, so there is a family vibe to our house and we like people to feel like part of the family. I am a true local and was born in the area.. Because of this I have excellent local knowledge which I am happy to share with anyone staying. The Central Coast area is known for its beautiful coastline and beaches and also walking trails, valleys and animal parks etc. I love to introduce guests to the many lovely sights in this area. We both follow the local soccer team, Ken was a carpenterby trade, so wehave a well equippedgarage of tools to sort most situations. .We used to have a caravan and traveilied regularly, so I have great information on different areas of interest around the country and helpful hints that could be very useful for travellers. We have often had guests stay from different countries, so are very comfortable with different cultures and love to exchange information and help out with language skills. In the past we have run an airbnb from our home, so there is comfortable room for anyone staying

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am happy to help with language skills in your time with us. I have done a lot of traveling in our caravan in the past, so can pass on information on different areas of interest and experience that I have learned. I can assist you in taking in local sights and are happy to drop you off and pick up at local sites. I love for people to feel at home and part of the family during their stay.

What else ...
We are on a main bus route so it is easy to catch buses to local shopping centre's etc or if I am going out you can catch a lift with . There is plenty of room to park in the street in front of our house. I am fairly laid back and love people to feel at home, but just be respectful of our house. There are a number of clubs around the area that run free shuttle buses for pick up and drop off, if you want to go out for a meal and drinks.
