    Description

    I am looking for a kind and honest person or couple to stay in our home and feed, walk and play with our large German Shepherd dog.

    He is very friendly to all people and animals and requires one or two walks daily. There is a 40 minute woodland walk which he knows well right by our home.

    We live in a small town in the south west of England within walking distance of Dartmoor national park and close by car to some beautiful beaches.

    There is good public transport by both rail and bus from our town.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am looking for a language exchange and so there will also be opportunities to converse in English with me and with my family, and to experience life in a small English town.

    I have experience of helping EFL students with their studies for the FCE exam.

    Ако искате и да практикувате своят английски ще можете да говорете със сина и със съпруга ми които въобще не знаят български.
