Activities i am interested in:
Hello, I’m currently at home in Montreal. I would like to practice my Spanish if anyone wants to meet up . I can teach English or French in exchange.
Description
I have recently retired from over 30 years working for Canada Post as a letter carrier. I am physically fit, used to walking in all kinds of weather. I have enjoyed meeting the many customers that I have encountered in different parts of Montreal. I am fluently bilingual, English and French (spoken and written) and I am looking to improve my Spanish skills. I have hosted young international students for the last ten years, helping them learn English and French. I have many skills, including cooking, baking, cleaning, sewing, gardening and have done many home improvement projects myself. I also have experience in restoring furniture and painting. I am used to using power tools, and have a general knowledge of how to fix things.
I am new to Workaway and wish to share a cultural exchange in another country while offering my set of skills.Interests
