Meet Christine
Outgoing, Creative, Helpful
I have hosted Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese people and love meeting people from other cultures. I studied French and German at university but am very rusty as it was a long time ago!
On a typical day...
I'm an early bird.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

Looking for a full time working female or student. Prefer someone who does minimal cooking.
We live on a quiet cul de sac in a quiet safe area south of the city. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas. Large covered outdoor area and pool. We have 2 small friendly dogs & a cat. We enjoy meeting people from other cultures. My husband runs his own business in import and sales.
We are on a major bus route (130) into the CBD going right past Griffith Uni and only a 45 minute drive to the Gold Coast. We are happy to help out with transport information or even provide emergency transport free. Happy to pick up/drop off from airport for petrol and motorway toll costs only (approx 44.00)
We have hosted Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese young women. I have a Queensland Blue Card (issued by the Government after a criminal history check), so you can be assured of a safe environment in our home.
We like to help guests enjoy their time in Brisbane however we can.
Females preferred.
The room is fully furnished with a king size bed.
Additional Info
No overnight friends without prior arrangement.
