Description
Hi, My name is Shiva. I live with my 23-year-old son, in a semi-rural area of Melbourne. We are a vegetarian household and have lived in this house for 30 years and love the friendly community which has traditionally attracted many artists and eco-friendly individuals and families. We love travelling and meeting people from different cultures.
