Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Collingwood, VIC
I am a professional who is keen to try living in Brisbane for a few months. Ideally, I am looking for somewhere in or near West End or Fortitude Valley (but I am open to areas near inner Brisbane). I am employed full time, but work from home so am keen to experience living in Brisbane city. I enjoy taking my dog for a walk, doing yoga, cooking, eating out and generally keeping healthy.
