  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live in a jungle near to the island's major road in a sparcely populated area. There is a village nearby. Every weekday I drive our son to school so there are opportunities for free rides. On the weekends, weather permitting, we like to go to the beach or a special swimming pool resort. Occasionally we are invited to birthday parties. Filipinos are very friendly and hospitable people. We like to go to bed by around 6, watch Netflix and I usually fall asleep by around 9pm, get up before the Crack of dawn, happy to occasionally party with you but generally not, so not a position for a night owl. Good if you are a happy reader, or you can use our starlink for free. Glamping tent is fully supplied with electricity and outdoor toilet.

  This host offers a language exchange
  Lived in Bulgaria for two years and Croatia for a while and have found I can basically communicate with all Slovaks, such as Russian and Ukrainian. Would love to teach son native French (sorry, not Quebecois). Wife speaks Tagalog, Ilongo and basic Spanish.

  Accommodation

  Glamping tent designed as toy room for the kids or for occasional guests with nearby toilet and shower.
  Two hours a day of work is enough, so 10 hours a week, with two days off. There is an outdoor kitchen bbq style and we can work out some arrangement to use our own kitchen, but latest until around 5-6pm since we usually pack it in early and wake up very early.

• 

  What else ...

  Ideally a lax two hours a day in exchange for accommodation, we do not provide food but there is an outdoor roof covered bbq kitchen and perhaps you could use our indoor kitchen if we feel comfortable enough with you. Our house is like an open studio flat with big terrace. Ideal for a casual person to spend about a month working at a slow, leisurely pace. Some of your requested help might be to interact with our children so we can work, or you can help around the house in different ways if you like.
