    Description

    I live in a small house in Carlisle, fairly central within Perth. It is a peaceful household with two cats and a little garden.

    There are a few shops within walking distance and Perth's CBD, the Swan River, and dozens of restaurants in Vic Park are all not far away. My favourite places to eat locally are Woodpeckers Pizza in Lathlain, and the Pietro Gelateria in East Vic Park.

    A shiny new train station is being built 100m away, and the trains should be running again at the start of June.

    Some of my favourite things to do in Perth include the Rooftop Cinema in Northbridge (during the summer months), the view over the Swan River from Kings Park, dining out on the Leederville strip, and the circular walk across the two new footbridges over the Swan River, the Matagarup Bridge and the Boorloo Bridge.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I'm from the UK, widely travelled, and love to meet new people. I have previous experience of teaching English as a foreign language, and very happy to help you practice and improve your English if it is not your first language. Also you probably already know that staying in a home brings you much closer to the spirit of a town than passing through as a tourist!

    Help

    I will be happy to have help with cleaning including cleaning the outsides of the windows, gardening jobs like weeding, sweeping and pruning, DIY and IT (Home Assistant), depending what suits you.

    I am doing lots of DIY jobs like painting that you can help me with, working alongside each other and sharing my skills with you. These are DIY jobs that I am doing myself, they are not jobs that need professional tradespeople. Things like helping me pressure wash the pavers, scrape paint off the window frames, and refinish the top of my desk.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There's a train station very close which will open in June. If you don't have a car there are buses and an open train station which is 20 mins walk. There is unrestricted street parking.

    Two cats in the family, one of them is shy and can be aggressive. It's important to keep the right doors closed so that neither of them escape!

    Non-smoking household.

    I eat an unconventional diet at non-standard times, so I won't provide food, but you'll be very welcome to use the kitchen.
