Description
We are a family of four. Myself Alice, my partner Dave and our two kids Frankie 2.5 and Max 5 months. We live in the beautiful riverside town of Bairnsdale, easy Gippsland. Close to lakes, beaches, mountains and rivers. We enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, we love the outdoors, boating, camping, cooking up amazing meals, and riding bikes. Dave is a musician and would gladly teach you guitar, drums or bass, or jam with you if you are already musical.
Alice is half Dutch and speaks Dutch to the children, this would be a major draw card if you also spoke Dutch!
We have lots of family living in East Gippsland and you would get to meet them too! We love wildlife and animals and would be keen to show you what Australia has to offer when we have time.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Being big travellers ourselves we firmly believe in the global village and always love having family and friends visiting from abroad so we can show off what we have to offer in our part of the world. We would love to introduce you to Aussie culture as we know it, seeing sites, learning local customs and slang language, as well as food of course! We would love to learn more about your culture, sharing stories and hopefully more food!
We speak Dutch and English and would love to keep those going and teach you English if you need that too.
