My teenage kids and I have travelled the world extensively and worked in a number of placements with as a helper and in housesitting in both in Europe and around Australia. I'm is a special needs teacher and has worked as an ESL ( English as a Second Language) teacher - so am more than happy to help you out with some English ( and Aussie lingo).

We are involved heavily in a number of community groups including the local theatre, archery, bushfire brigade and pony club. These things keep us busy in a variety of activities - so there is always something going on.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I am completely blessed to have a long list of amazing achievements. A memorable and life changing event remains when we, as a family of myself, a 10 and an 8 year old , walked the 800 km Camino de Santiago ( across Spain). We continued on to backpack round Europe and Australia for nearly 18 months while I homeschooled the two kids.

We have walked on fire, snorkelled at midnight, swum with dolphins, climbed cathedrals, climbed the Great Wall; I've hiked a glacier, been caving, explored the pyramids, camped under the stars in the middle of Australia and driven across Europe.

We love to talk about travel and share experiences.

Insegna, impara, condividi

We would be delighted to share our cooking expertise - from Aussie favourite snacks ( lamingtons, ANZACs) to raw food delights. Both Morgan and Lilly are excellent cooks, having been in charge of preparing meals since they were 10.
