    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We love to host folks from different countries and spend lots of time travelling ourselves. Folks will enjoy plenty of out door time. My hubby is very practical and will offer guidance for DIY tasks however we need folks who are self starter and can get on with the tasks that need to be done. We will share our favourite places to swim and walk and enjoy conversation over meals.
