INNER CITY MELBOURNE HOME
A peaceful and relaxing home in an inner city Melbourne suburb with easy access to the sights of Melbourne. Very close to CBD/downtown, Newport Lakes and the Williamstown beach. There is a bus stop 60 seconds from the front door and a train station a short walk away that is only a few stops into the CBD.
My home is a ‘No smoking, No drug and No alcohol’ home. (If you smoke you can smoke outside.)
I am a professional, community minded mid 40's woman. I naturally gravitate towards people who are open-hearted, generous of spirit and self aware. Most of the people I surround myself with are making a positive difference in the world or are on a spiritual or personal growth journey of some kind.
I value heart felt, emotionally intimate connections with friends and associates. I enjoy people. I love going out listening to music, theatre and dancing. I am fit, eat healthily and appreciate being outdoors in nature.
If you think you can make a positive contribution in my home and that we have some things in common then please get in touch - I would love to hear from you. I offer short term 5 day stays but may also consider longer stays - just ask and I can let you know if it is possible or not.
Please make an initial enquiry by email and...
(a) State what skills and experience you have;
(b) State how you believe you can assist me through the Workaway exchange;
(c) State the date you would like to arrive and the length of time you would like to stay.
Please leave a way for me to contact you on whatsapp, skype, Australian phone number or whatever contact method you are comfortable.

I need some help with a few community initiatives I am involved in - all of which make the world a better place.

- Writing and editing
I could also use a bit of help around my home, such as:
