CURRENT MISSION

John and I love to travel, to meet and spend time with people from other countries.

ABOUT ME

We are a married couple who have a blended family and have six children between us who are all living independently now, and (currently) 2 grandchildren. We live in Albany, which is a relatively small regional city in WA, and really enjoy and savour our lifestyle here. We love to travel and feel one of the most enriching things is to meet people from other countries. We are happy to open our home to people from all around the world as a way of connecting and learning and sharing.

PHILOSOPHY

We love and respect nature, we feel strongly about having no religious beliefs. We lead honest and hardworking lives and love our family, our friends and neighbours and community.
