    Description

    We are three in this family: Nico, Lola and Cova who is 10 years old, we are 45 years old. My husband is dedicated to the environment quality andme, I am a technology teacher in a Secondary/High School.

    Cova is a very cheerful and sweet girl who loves dancing and playing outside.

    We love travelling and trekking. Nico really likes basketball and cycling, and me, I love going out for tapas, yummy yummy!...

    We would like a language exchange with a native speaker, who would like to help our family to improve our English and overall, teaching English skills to our daughter, playing and interacting with her, as much as possible.


    We live in León, a nice small city in northern Spain, very pretty and surrounded by great nature, mountains, and also, an important point of the Camino de Santiago.

    León is known for its tapas and its Gothic cathedral. It takes 1h30 to arrive to the beach, and 3,5 hours to Madrid.

    We have a pet, a border collie dog called Porma. By the way, we don't smoke.
