Travel information

Description

Hello dear host family,
We are Australians, although I was born in the Netherlands.
We are currently in Europe as we would like to get my Dutch passport again. I am married to an Australian and we will be returning to Australia on 25 February 2020.
I'm a handyman. I built a lot of structures and I really enjoy repairing things (especially if they are broken, I want to fix them again).
We would like to come to you in end February and make arrangements for the following year from November till .... and help with some tasks.
I am originally a Dutch mechanical engineer and have also received my engineering qualifications in mechanical engineering in Australia. I almost always worked in foundries.
Arini, my wife, has a PhD. in character education and has worked as a director at schools, universities and special learning institutions, and has now helped many people to understand each other well to ensure that their relationships remain established into infinity: look at www.relationshipinfinity.com/relationship.html and you will see for yourself what we do and who we are.
I have had a restaurant gig as a pianist for the last 5 years. Playing the piano is my hobby, but unfortunately I don't have one with me. I also taught children.
We can help you with cooking, cleaning, crafts, learning English for the children and yourself, maintaining everything and anything.
We like to come along to get acquainted, however, this is not possible as we are not as yet in Australia. We could have a Skype session before we make firm arrangements from both sides.
We look forward to your response.
Our best regards and thank you very much in advance for your reply message.
Ronald and Dr. Arini Verwer.
