Description
I'm José Luis, from Seville. Im interested to increase my English skills, so Im looking for a native English speaker for living at home, sharing food and activities and spend time together talking in English.

I love going to cultural and artistic events, doing excursions to the nature and going outdoors to eat in restaurants.

Giada is a smart guy. Just in the short time we met, our communication was fine. She helped me to order some documents and we had an English class. She wanted share her free time with me, so we decided to visit Seville deeply. Good return to home, Giada, and keep in touch. I really recommend her to another hosts.

I contacted José Luis because I wanted to spend roughly a month near Sevilla, but this at the end couldn't work for me or him in terms of other commitments. He kindly hosted me for a weekend and we visited Sevilla with his motorbike and even if I didn't stay for long, I managed to see a lot of the main points you would want to see in Sevilla.

I had a wonderful first experience with José Luis😊 we messaged a few times before my visit, which for me was great as this was my first Workaway and a bit nervous.
I was warmly welcomed, we discussed how we wanted to break up the working day as such.

I agreed to host Toni because of the excellent comments she had and, without a doubt, it has been an intense and profound "workaway" experience.
Being motivated, Toni gave the best of her knowledge and experience, both in our English classes and in our daily conversations. She wanted to share part of her free time in activities that I already had… read more

Among the many special people one can meet when embarking on Work-Away in Spain, José Luis stands out: his personal story makes for endless conversations, his generosity will be hard to match and his openness and curiosity sometimes even leave him vulnerable.

I stayed with José for four weeks. The accommodation was comfortable and all the food was provided. I am an experienced Workaway but found this placement far too intense and demanding of my time (25 hours formal teaching plus many extras) so I decided to leave early. José is a good student and I think he looking for a full time tutor and coach on… read more

I got to stay with José Luis for a week. He is extremely intelligent and was a great student. I was able to see a lot of progress with his English in a short amount of time. He has a passion for Spanish culture. He taught me about historical events, celebrations, and traditional cuisine. We went on excursions to places few tourists know about. In… read more

I stayed weeks with José Luis and it was an excellent experience. He provided room and board, but more importantly a true insight into Spanish life. I went on a number of outings with him and a few by myself. After I left and traveled to a few other cities, we met again in his original hometown of Barecelona. It was great to get to know José Luis… read more

Awesome workaway experience. It was a shame I could not stay longer, and had only spent a week with Jose Luis. He was very accommodating and made sure I felt comfortable at his place. Tasks include daily English lessons, and simply conversing while sharing stories and experiences. We also went out on excursions, walks and a flamenco show. He… read more
