I am a neat and tidy person who presently lives alone. I am house proud and would look after another person's home as I care for my own. I love nature, i.e. countryside scenery and birds and other wildlife and experiencing people and life in other countries. Although I have travelled alone, I usually go to places with my sister who is a like minded person.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Brisbane, capital of Queensland, is a big, modern city set on the Brisbane River. Clustered in its South Bank cultural precinct are institutions including Queensland Museum and Sciencentre, with noted interactive exhibitions, and Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, among Australia's major contemporary art museums. Looming over the city is Mt. Coot-tha, site of sprawling Brisbane Botanic Gardens, with panoramic views from its summit. Brisbane is situated in the sub tropics, between the Gold Coast to the south, Moreton Bay with its pleasant bayside suburbs and islands to the east, the Sunshine Coast to the north and Toowoomba, the garden city, and the Darling Downs to the west.
