About Ray
---------------
I am a senior professional semi-retired man who lives upstairs.
In my semi retirement, I am a trainer/coach in computers, especially for beginners.
Trainees wishing for more skills to upgrade their opportunities at work often ask for coaching in MS Office especially MS Excel.
This has taken me all over the East Coast , travelling with Anne (Sunshine Coast) from
Cairns to Tasmania. We often stay in YHA backpackers hostels and cabins in caravan parks.
We do understand what is expected with budget accommodation.
My working career has been in Commercial Accounting & Office Management.
In addition, I owned my owned business for 17 years in Food/hospitality plus retail.
My 2 daughters and grandchildren live in Brisbane, & we catch up often.
.About the flatmates
-----------------------------
In cases they will be couples, at other times, single guys or girls.
Some may be backpackers working on farms here in the Lockyer Valley. Others may have permanent jobs in the region.
Our location insists that you have access to a car, as there is no public transport up here.
I am looking for flatmates who are honest, genuine, considerate of others and who will bring
fun & laughter to this happy home.
All flatmates at interview, must demonstrate that they will do their best at all times, in striving to bring a homely, caring, helpful fun loving atmosphere to Dackandra.
Phone, text or email Ray 24/7 for videos to be sent.
