  Descrição

  We are a well traveled family on the Tennessee River. We have had visitors from all over the world. We usually have several projects, some very interesting, some mundane to make this a better place for ourselves and travelers. We are looking for people, 1 or 2 at a time, who want to help here and enjoy the peaceful rural river life. We take a proactive role in correcting your English grammar and word choice, during daily conversation, for those that want English improvement. [TO APPLY SEE FORM BELOW]

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We like people who can blend into the household. We love to talk and visit with our guests, and in the course of a stay we will learn a lot about them and they will learn a lot about us, we enjoy our together time and alone time and free time. We can let our guests know what there is to do around here. You can go with us when we go to town.
  
  You can benefit from cultural exchange because of our frank discussion with you of what it is like to live in the United States, to live in Tennessee and to live in this area of the state. We participate in discussions with you on life in your area of the world and contrast that with life here. Also, we are always willing to take you wherever we go and so you can see more of the area. You can learn the use of tools and construction habits. And by immersion learn English in a more conversational way.

  Ajuda

  Help is varied, but it usually involves hand or electric tools. There may be carpentry, gardening, maintenance, dock, boat, deck help, concrete help, and odd projects. Etc. we try to tailor what needs to be done with your skills and abilities or your desire to learn certain skills. Many times volunteers arrive mistakenly thinking they will just clean and organize and cook. This is NOT the case. More likely the help is similar to construction than anything else. We also need a proficient web developer. If you've been told that you're HARDWORKING, PROACTIVE, THOROUGH, and tend to PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS then I can't wait to hear from you. The general plan is to exchange 5 hours/day for a sleeping area as well as food (meals or ingredients to prepare meals) will be available and a day off.

  We live on a beautiful river. Be sure you understand that we are in a remote location. 25 minutes from a little town, but only 1 hr and 40 min from Nashville. Most enjoy the rural tranquility and peace of the location, but some find it more quiet than they would prefer. You should google-earth our location.
  
  Google "mid-cumberland humphreys county" for a link to our local car service that can pick you up and drop you off for side trips, arrival or departure. It is very reasonable and so far very reliable.
