Description
I live in a small seaside town in an out of the way road but still close to all facilities. I have a big section that has a lot of lawns to mow and gardens to look after. Would be interested in exchanging language and cultural differences as well as getting help with the property. We have a beautiful surf beach and separate estuary with lots of tracks through the region. There are 2 push bikes available for exploring the area.
