Descripción
My name is Amy and I work coordinating a toy library in the inner city. I live with my daughter, Evie, who is starting her first year of university.
We don't eat meat and we like to cook healthy meals.

Our house is only about 8kms from the city centre and we are very close to public transport. The tram that runs past our house travels through Fitzroy to the city.
Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Travelers will learn about how we live in the inner north of Melbourne.
They will gain insight into the everyday happenings of our family life and may learn some things about chickens and gardens if they are so inclined.
They can learn about Melbourne’s art and cultural experiences from people who live here.
Ayuda
We have a bedrooms available but you would be sharing a bathroom with us.

We are thinking of repainting some internal walls. Sometimes need some help gardening and cleaning. We would not expect more than a few of hours a day help and you would be free to go off and explore Melbourne or relax here at home the rest of the time. We live near good cafes and are very close to the Merri Creek.

We need people who are self motivated and are not afraid of messy work, especially cleaning, gardening and painting.
Must be queer friendly.

We typically host workawayers for up to two weeks at a time.
