when we arrived in Tassie 4 years ago we did a lot of "workaway" ourselves and value the exchange program, we don't have any family here and we love having inspiring visitiors around, learning about different cultures and food.
.
- practice your language skills with us : Jessa is polish- australian and Andrew is Australian and we are open minded ex-travelers always keen to have a good yarn,
- enjoy hobart and surrounding: we will tell you all the local/ tasmanian tips
- enjoy south hobart: we do have self contained accomodation (room with your own bathroom) at perect location - great base to explore
.

we hope to do on one of the weekend-days a day where we all are here, maybe a fire in the gardenProjects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
- I need 4,5h hour of your prompt help: mostly in the GARDEN (proposed help shifts: 9-1.30pm or 2 shifts 9-11 + 2-4.30)
- gardening is on a sloped block with weeds/ hedges - you will help me clear it
- need strong person that is able to do some lifting for me to build stairs to the house
- we need your 'TO DO' , hands on attitude and people that won't complain about Hobart's weather :)
- we would appeciate help with cooking a meal when not garding
- best suit for COUPLEs, as we have a double bed in our accomodation
background story: we bought a house with a extremly overgrown block (Jessa cleared half of the garden herself and needs a hand)
