French speaker to help with language practice and some home projects in Asheville, NC, USA

Details

• 

  Description

  We are a family of four looking for cultural exchange and language exchange with native French speakers (females only please).
  
  We have a comfortable house with a private bedroom and bathroom in Asheville, NC. Asheville is a vibrant mountain city with a thriving art and food scene. There are also lots of opportunities for outdoor sports, such as hiking mountain, biking, kayaking, and rock climbing.
  
  It’s important for our workawayer to love children and enjoy healthy eating. We are omnivores except our adult (21 yrs) daughter who is pescatarian (eats fish but no meat).
  
  We have one cat and a small hypoallergenic dog (miniature poodle).
  
  With apologies to the wonderful and trustworthy men on this site, our daughter is most comfortable having females stay with us, so that is what we are looking for at this time.

  Accommodation

  Private bedroom with Queen (double) bed. Private bathroom with tub & shower. The accommodation is in the basement of our house, but has two full size windows. We are happy to share food as part of the exchange. If there is anything special you want for yourself, you can come with me to the grocery store to buy it.

  What else ...

  Our home is in a convenient location and it is possible to walk to restaurants, shops, etc. It is quite hilly though and a car is necessary for grocery shopping and getting to nature because public transportation is not very good. However, we would be able to help with rides when it works for our schedule.
