About Me

Love where I live, meeting and entertaining new people and shamelessly promoting our beautiful part of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach visitors about the region, especially the beaches and wineries. Love to learn about places and cultures that I haven't been to or experienced so I can plan my next trip.
I can also explain the rules of AFL and how to kick a football, teach you to play the drums, teach you to surf

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my beautiful home which is a log cabin on 15 acres, surrounded by gum trees, wildlife and vineyards and it's in the heart of the McLaren Vale wine region. Bar and fire pit in the backyard is always fun. Regular table tennis, bocce, croquet and finska tournaments also, free wine (sometimes)
