Tanya must be one of the best hosts you can meet! She is friendly and positive, willing to face new things and open to listen. She told me very clearly about what condition I might face after I arrive, she also did what she had said during our communication, working out something to my liking together. In the winter season, which is not very suitable for doing animal-related jobs, she drove me to see unique Australian animals and took me to ride in the forest. Actually winter in Australia is not that cold. I hope I can have chance to meet my friend Tanya again in the future!

Tanya was a lovely host and did her best to make me comfortable. She took me with her to do some activities during the free time and it was amazing. The work was quite physical. I did some bush cleaning, mowed the grass, did some gardening. If you are willing to help physically and you like to be invest in the work this place is for you. I didn't stayed as much as I planned to because I didn't fit in that place but it was still a great experience.

Hi Chole,
I knew this and that is why I talked to you about it before you settled in and also again when you and I discussed that you had found somewhere you liked to be more and again when I drove you to the train station.

I appreciate your ability to communicate this with me but also know that my openness and willingness to facilitate and support travelers in what they need regardless of how that leaves me helped this also.

It was great to meet you Chole, best wishes for your future.
