  Beschreibung

  We are Alicia and James, and our 4 year old daughter Lily. We love the slow life and are dedicated to treading lightly on the earth. We live in a straw bale home in an off-grid permaculture and arts community, Goolawah. We live on the edge of a national park so we are surrounded by beautiful forest and native animals. We are close to the stunning surfing beaches of Crescent Head.
  
  Alicia is a professional photographer. James is a natural builder and upcyclist, and teaches courses in How To Build Tiny Houses with Recycled Materials.
  
  We love travelling, yoga, surfing, healthy living, hiking and enjoying the great outdoors.
  
  We have travelled and volunteered all over the world. We love hosting people and sharing our culture while learning about yours. We are vegetarian and gluten free. We are happy cater for vegans.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We live in a pretty unique situation in a beautiful part of Australia where you will get to learn about Australia, community living and life off grid. There are plenty of interesting people who you'll be able to meet in our neighbourhood and gathering.
  
  You will have the opportunity to enjoy the Australian bush and wildlife, as well as experience living in an off-grid community. We will share meals (you are also welcome to cook your own), enjoy evenings by the fire, join in our community yoga gatherings and meet many of our wonderful, friendly neighbours on the community who all have interesting stories. You might even make new friends who might host you too, if you'd like to stay longer. You are welcome to join us on trips to the beach for a surf, swim, hike or picnic.
