I recently moved to the Sunshine Coast although my parents lived here for many years so I am familiar with the area and have visited for holidays over the years. I am very happy with the comfortable apartment I have purchased here in Buderim and enjoy it's close proxsimity of shops and cafes . I am exploring hiking options in the area and belong to a local pottery group. I am also exploring other potential community groups. I frequently drive to Brisbane for concerts and to visit friends. I am interested in home exchanges primarily in the UK, NZ and Canada but am open to other places in the world and in Australia. I love travelling to places where I can experience the wilderness and wildlife but also enjoy the energy, culture, art and architecture of big cities. I also love visiting market towns and artisan communities.
