Description
Hi. I live in a rural property on the central coast NSW not far from the beach. I am single and enjoy fitness and need some help to create a sustainable garden and surrounds.
Mainly looking for help in the garden, mowing lawns, mulching, weeding, tidying up overgrown areas, help in the vegetable garden, cutting wood, planting trees. Can accommodate singles or couples and campervans. No experience needed but a willingness to work 15 hours a week. Exchanging cooking experiences would be great as i cook alot and have someone to exchange ideas and culture would be great. Near the beach which is great for a swim or a surf. Have boards to use. You need a car but i do have bikes if you need.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Love to try and learn different cooking recipes from both sides. I have travelled extensively and can cook most dishes from around the world. I have had travelers stay either as backpackers or round Australia travelers. Some have become great friends. My place is quite and i hope i can teach new skills in the workshop. Stay and enjoy Australian life and get outside and enjoy the bush and the many coastal walks.
Help
Need help with the garden. Needs pruning and weeding. No experience necessary.Volunteer 3 hours per day each 5 days a week. If you have DIY experience that would be great. A few things to rebuild.

I would like to learn and speak French or Spanish as i have a passion to live in France one day. I am fluent in engineering and project management English that i can hand on as well as Australian lingo and slang.
Accommodation
I have a private lockable room in the house with access to the main bathroom with spa. House is airconditioned and has plenty of storage. I will supply dinner and basic supplies such as bread and milk etc. There is a laundry and outside a heated swimming pool.
Mobile reception is OK and Wi-Fi in the house is quick and free.
The main section of the house has a fire and comfortable lounge areas.
What else ...
You need to have a car to make the most of the area. I can lend you a bike but some hills are challenging. There are buses around on the main road about 500 meters away. These go to most places. Plenty of beaches
