UPDATE JULY-AUGUST 2025! :)
Need help with the garden and preparing for my upcoming move this fall (deep cleaning, sorting, tidying...)! I especially need help with household chores, so need someone who likes to clean, organize and tidy :)
Hello!
I'm Emma, a Galician/Mexican girl (40y.o.) I live with my son Natan (14 years old), our cat (Nawak, 15 y.o.) and our little dog Rubi (3 years 1/2) at a cozy apartment in a pretty village, near (by car) from services and a lot of heritage interesting points. The apartment is bright and overlooks our little garden, the pretty little park of the village, and a Castle (look at photos!)
All around, trees, forest, nature, and some pretty ancient stone houses!!
We love to meet new people. talk, laugh! sing!!
I love music, singing, and playing guitar (a little). We often go to jam with friends.
I love cooking when I have free time... (some Mexican-Galician food, and mostly, "Emma's inventions"! ).
I have a little own business (I'll produce and sell some chili and spices products, without gluten , and recently I've begin to sell drinks (smoothies milkshakes, natural jus...) at markets and festivals. And I give conversational online Spanish lessons too.
Natan is at home in "homeschooling". He live half the time with his father.
We have a pretty little garden in front of the apartment (it is an ancient house divided into 2 apartments) amd a part of other garden that we share with a neighbor. We do that garden in respect of nature and life, so no chemicals, and we try not to disturb the soil and the plants.
We have internet access, but I prioritize ethernet connection. If we need to use wifi, I would be happy to turn it off when not in use, and accommodate times during the day to check messages, or other tasks you need.
We try to live in an eco-friendly and economical way, so we are attentive to reducing gas, water, and power consumption. So we will appreciate it very much if you help us with that :=)
We and the earth will be grateful if you use eco-friendly and biodegradable products, like shampooing, soaps, sanitary napkins, etc.
I think you will love to be here, the department of the Lot, has a rich natural and cultural heritage, and there are a lot of things to do and to discover! it will be a pleasure for us to advise you about some places, transport, and if we can, maybe go with you to visit or bring you to some places :)
Come here!! We will be happy to meet you!! ;)
Gracias!! :)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We'd love to talk in Spanish or French with you if it could help you; we can show you the village and depending on the time and the possibilities, other places....
Several hiking trails begin from the village. We will be pleased to show you. We love hiking.
We will be happy to propose you come with us when we go in the car to places that you could love. Go swimming in the river, lake, pool in summer...
We can talk about France, Mexico and Spain and I can cook Mexican, Galician and Spanish depending on the ingredients I can find, yummy!! :)
Please tell us what are your needs. Maybe We can help you with other things. It will be a pleasure!
Depending on the date, and your economy, you can come with us on travel (I'll go sometimes to Galicia), maybe to the Pyrenees for camping, to the Mediterranean....

Help
Depending on the moment of the year, I'll be asking you to help me with some of these tasks:
- Help with housework:
I would like to spend more "quality time" with Natan, that's why I'm looking for help especially with housework, as I will be able to take advantage of those moments to be with him without stress :). I need time to work in my little busyness too, and time for taking care of myself.
Cleaning, tidying the house, cooking, and some interesting projects like reorganizing the space: toys, books, furniture, etc. to make this space more pleasant! all ideas are welcome! :)
- Help with DIY:
If you are handy and know how to work with wood, I have some projects like shelves and other ideas to make at home and garden.
- Playing/teaching music:
I sing and I have also a guitar and I'd love to improve my playing... :)
If you have musical talents we would love to learn with you! I would like to learn the piano as well..
Music is in my veins!! yeahhh!
- Speaking English with us.
- Help with the garden

We want to practice English, so we can speak half time English half spanish or french if you want :)
Accommodation
Bed and 3 meals (not the snack between meals) :)
As the apartment has only 2 rooms, Natan's and mine, we can propose you to sleep on the sofa in the living room (it is very comfortable and big for one person, but if you do not sleep well there, we can talk about it and find solutions), we also have mattresses to put on the floor, sometimes I propose my room (for example if I host a couple of Workawayers) and sleep on the sofa... everything is possible :) Eventually put a tent on the little garden...
On the days off, we will share the normal house tasks as roommates (if one cooks, the other cleans, cleans toilets, sweeps, etc. to keep the house tidy).
Please make sure that these conditions are ok for you, as well as rules about our eco-friendly and economical way of living because is really important for us. Thank you! :)
What else ...
The Lot is a department with a lot of activities, music, sport, hiking, cultural activities, etc. The summer we have some interesting festivals (Blues festival in Cahors, Lot of Saveurs-local gastronomy, Les Rencontres de Cinéma de Gindou and many many others...).
Concerts every time everywhere-
We are at 25 minutes from Cahors, and from there It is easy to go to Toulouse by train (1h30)
