Description
hello there,
I'm looking for help several tasks in my private home in Ostend, Belgium, just 20 minutes from Bruges. The apartment where you'll stay is about 1 km from the sea.
We will cook and eat together, and sometimes we organize BBQs or pizza's with the team or go to the beach. We provide some pocket money and free train tickets so you can explore Belgium during your free time.
We'll be helping with you all the time, so if you want to learn another language, this is a great opportunity. We will also teach you a lot about different skills and off course also exchange the languages you want ( english / french / spanish ). The project will take place during July and August and september, the perfect time to be in Belgium with its nice weather and lovely places to hang out.
I need help around the house and cleaning. If you're interested, please send me a message.
You will have a free room and food and drinks for the whole period in an apartment 1 km from the sea, which is a 15 -minute walk or 5 - minute bike ride. The train station and city center are 10 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by bike. Public transportation is well-organized and everything is within walking distance.
I speak French, Flemish (Dutch), English, Spanish, and German. Bruges, with its rich history, is nearby. Flanders is a wonderful region with lovely weather, great for hiking, surfing, kiting, paddle , tennis, horseback riding, and exploring culture. There are many places to visit (Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, Liège) and various sports to enjoy.
You will have the opportunity to practice languages, engage in DIY projects, and help around the house.
Join our team! We are currently 4 people: myself, my husband, and a friend from Colombia and Argentina.
Hope to hear from you soon.
