自我介绍

I am Australian and have lived in the UK and Japan. My husband, Dermot, grew up in Ireland and has lived in the Ireland, UK and now Australia. We love meeting people, having a laugh, fresh air, walking and cycling, beautiful scenery and great food and wine --- Tasmania! We are both involved in running our Airbnb apartments, having expanded since our initial listing in 2012. My career has been in healthcare (mainly midwifery) and my husband's in finance. We are keen travellers, especially if it involves sailing. We have four children keeping us busy, so we are also good at keeping ourselves to ourselves, as appropriate. We have taken on the challenge of looking after this 19th century house and property, the Anglican Bishop's residence from the 1840s till recently, and spend a lot of time restoring and maintaining it. I am particularly fond of searching for interesting pieces of forgotten furniture, making/growing things and preserving and baking. Dermot is particularly mad about introducing technology to everyday activities such as mowing the lawn - watch out for Monty our robotic lawnmower dodging the local wildlife of rabbits, pademelons & kookaburras. We were drawn to Airbnb as we get to know a little about our house guests and vice versa. Also, we find that it connects us with people who are considerate and pleasant which is important!
