Descrição
I am a Mindfulness instructor and English Teacher focusing on living a simpler life. I have two grown daughters and many connections with different communities in Victoria. I enjoy hosting dinners and having friends visit.

In my free time I love to read and write. I enjoy walking, cycling, hiking and kayaking with the ocean close by. I am very active in the outdoors and enjoy gardening, cooking and travelling.
Hoping to make my backyard/garden a sanctuary.

At the moment I can only host female guests or couples. Thank you.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We are a multicultural family with lots of experience traveling the world. We speak English and Portuguese fluently. Besides a daily meditation practice, I do yoga at least three times a week. Also, I like to go hiking, walking and cycling, often with friends and neighbours. In the summer I also do some kayaking. I have two exta bikes for guests to explore the area and travel around with ease. I love to cook and I am also open to trying new dishes from around the world. I have a tiny yoga/meditation studio in my backyard and a friendly dog who loves company.
Ajuda
I welcome help in the garden and with house organizing, painting and cleaning. I also appreciate people who have some experience and can work independently. At the moment I can use help with decluttering and gardening. We created a meditation labyrinth in the front yard and maintenance is ongoing. Simplifying is the main goal at the moment, so some skills in organizing would be a great asset.
