  Description

  ABOUT US: We're a couple in our mid-30s (Australian Physio, French Canadian Civil Engineer), and our housemate (30s, Canadian, PhD student). There are 2 large dogs at the house who are very friendly. Humans are friendly too and open to chats. We'd love to give you lots of tips for free or cheap activities to do around Brisbane, most of which you can use our bikes for (free days, yay!) Most of us work full time, we spend much of our free time at the gym, sport etc.
  
  Laurence is fluent in spoken French (native speaker), and intermediate for written French.
