Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I live in a traditional Australian log cabin and can share many travel experiences as well as experiences and tips gained as a couchsurfing host and surfer under the same name. I can also show you one of the best coastlines in Australia surrounded by 23 islands. The log cabin is really chilled and private with a pool table, outdoor gym, an indoor as well as an outdoor bar and fire pit, yet not far from the beach. I have an acoustic as well as an electric guitar and Djembe for use.
I prefer it if you have a vehicle, so make sure you mention if you have a vehicle. -
Help
I require a little painting. I also have a bit of gardening and manual labour that needs to be done. A bit of house help as well. Any pc skills are always appreciated.

Accommodation
At the moment I have a caravan with a double mattress. The log cabin is a 20min walk from town and beach and bus service- I have a bike you can use and I am back and forth from town or the beach fishing or kitesurfing, anyway. Smoking is ok outside or on verandas. Breakfast and tea and coffee will be provided and am happy to share the input to main meals and encourage traditional meals, while I make an effort to show my guests around, which is after all, what travel is about.
Music is big in my world and I am a very open minded fun and diverse individual. -
What else ...
An amazing area- Fishing, diving, many Islands. Croc farm, native animal sanctuary, bull riding, many rivers and swimming holes, with a golf course close by, and great weather most of the time.

Making themselves at home, they fitted in well.
They were fun to be around with a lot of dry humour and always helping around the kitchen, even after a days work.
They worked well, both alone and in company and showed initiative and care.
Up for anything including a drink, or ten. I fully recommend them and … read more
