  Description

  I am a retired nurse educator and love travel and am interested in different cultures and can help you with written and spoken English.
  I live in a mostly quiet neighborhood, so this exchange would suite a quietish person or couple. My home is near the lake , Swim Centre, bakery, gymnasium and a 10 minute drive to Shelley Beach, trendy cafes, major shopping centres, cinemas etc. I live within walking distance of Mingara Club, which offers, swimming, yoga, aquarobics, gym.
  I live with my daughter who can speak German.
  I am interested in hosting a couple or single person who takes pride in their work and can help with some small painting jobs, planting small trees and hanging small shelves. I can provide clean private accommodation,private bathroom, breakfast, and language exchange.
