My husband and I are living in Australia for six months visiting family. I am a retired Home Economics teacher and my husband is a retired Nurse Anesthetist-- both from Seattle. My mother was an Australian born war-bride. I have traveled to Australia many times over the years and now have dual citizenship. My husband and I are interested in spending half our time in Australia and half in Seattle. We will love and respect your home and your pet. We have owned long haired cats one called Sydney and the other Scooter, and Golden Retrievers in our lives. We are currently residing in the Sydney and Port Macquarie areas but will be interested in other areas around Australia. We hope to hear from you.
