  Description

  I am a songwriter/author, based in Paris all my adult life and now in Australia with my 9 year old son. I would love to host some guests, preferably French or Italian speaking, who can help me with gardening, basic house-keeping and homework/play with my 9 year old in French. I live with my partner. Creative types welcome. We eat mainly vegetarian and very healthy food (apart from an occasional homemade pizza)
