ABOUT ME

Hi I`m Margaret. I was born in Sydney Australia. I am the second eldest of seven children.

I look forward to using Couch surfing as a window of opportunity to meet people, learn new things and share cultures and experiences.

I have three adult children and love being a grandma to six delightful and individual grandchildren.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like listening to country music and a wide variety of different music styles. I inherited a love of reading from my mum and I can see this has now been passed on to my children. My reading interests include reading about different peoples lives, teaching educational books and reading and discussing books that are of interest to my children. Classic movies and real life stories.

教，学，和分享

I have a great thirst to learn new things and to improve my skills and knowledge. I am very interested in helping children to read and opening the door for children who struggle with school learning. I hope to pass my knowledge on so others will continue to help children after my time.
