    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am a South African living in Fishery Falls Aus. Happy to work on your English skills if you’d like that.

    There’s a pub down the road that locals frequent and I get together with neighbours for a BBQ or meal. I have a son in Sweden and one in Doha and miss the energy of younger people.

    My husband taught English to foreign students for many years and I loved meeting students from all over the world.
