  Description

  Learning Spanish and Knowing Galician culture and gastronomy from the inside. If you like nature and children and if you are a responsible active girl, you'll be wellcome to our family. We are an open-minded middle-aged couple with two children aged 15 and 13 working both of us so another pair of hands helping with children, gardening and/or house would be great. We live in a little cosy house in the countryside surrounded by wooden hills and looking to the sea, 5 minutes by car (15 minutes by bicycle from the small village of Valdoviño on the north-west Galician coast.
  
  I love learning languages and knowing other cultures and I used to make exchanges and to travel but nowadays with the children, the work and the house we don't have time enough so it would be great receiving another people just to practice any language and Exchange any experiences instead of going ourself.
  
  In Valdoviño we have beautiful wild beaches open to the Athlantic ocean and a little lagoon that is a natural bird reserve.
  
  We expect someone that stay with us at least one month.

  What else ...

  We like spending our time outdoors gardening, going to the beach or for a walk and making handcrafts. We love spending time with friends and receiving visits as well.
  We are active people that love making things with our hands. I like painting and getting hands dirty in the garden or the vegetable garden. My husband loves work with wood. We have some projects: painting the childrens wood cabin, conquer a bit more parcel to the wild, made new furnitures for the house and maybe put the paviment around the house.... the problem is the time.
  We love making little trips so we can show you the sorroundings like little villages of Cedeira and Pontedeume, the towns of Ferrol, Coruña or Santiago and put in touch with youngest people. I have a step son, some nephews and a young sister that drop up frequently by home.
