As a family I have hosted 6 international high school exchange students with my children. They are all grown up and have 2 bedrooms not being used. I love being hospitable and have done tour guide driving as well as being a courtesy driver for the Aus Tennis open. I am non smoker and do a fair amount of outdoor activities such as bike riding, hiking. I come from a dutch background but was born here in Melbourne (a typical Australian story).
I live in beautiful Blackburn. Train station and shopping centre just around the corner. Large rear deck faces onto bushland. Lots of birds and wildlife.
