    Description

    I love good, healthy food and here in Australia we are blessed with so much fresh produce that make preparing an interesting meal fun. It's also nice to learn some new recipes.

    I am 69 years old and do some office work most days but would like to improve my garden and also undertake some small maintenance projects around the house and would like some help with those.

    I also enjoy being a tourist in my own city and like sharing my discoveries.

    I speak English as well as German. I've lived in Sydney for over 40 years and I really enjoy this city and it's environment. We have a large garden with almost exclusively native plants that need looking after. I am also a keen bush walker and can take you on a few hikes if you like or give you tips on where you find interesting outings yourself.
