I am recently retired and have 2 adult children Alex aged 30 and Rosa aged 32. They both live independently and work in different cities, but visit home regularly.
I have spent my life working with children and families in various different social care roles, including residential care, which I believe equipped me well for hosting.
I have hosted international guests from various countries for over 20 years. This has been on both long term and short term basis and has proven to be a rewarding experience both for myself and my children.
I have a 4 bedroom semi-detached house, which includes a loft conversion with 2 double beds and an en suite bathroom. It has a TV, mini fridge, microwave and kettle and is perfect for 2 guests or a small family sharing. In addition, I have 2 large double rooms, for a single guest or 2 guests sharing. (I offer a 20% discount for 2 or more guests sharing a room)
Downstairs I have 2 reception rooms, including a large dining room, a living room, and also a hall and kitchen.
I have a lovely south-facing garden where we like to sit and relax and enjoy meals on sunny days.
My own children enjoy many hobbies and interests including athletics, football, cricket, netball, and dance, hence I am aware of many local teams and resources. I would always aim to support any guests in identifying local resources which may be of interest to them.
I am a member of the local leisure center and swim most days. I also enjoy reading, cooking, gardening, cinema and theatre and like to include my visitors in these activities wherever possible if they would like to get involved.
