    Description

    Hello workawayers!! We are Charlie and Esther, a couple from a big town in Toledo, Spain. We live in a cute flat and Charlie's kids share with us two weeks every month. We are interested in culture, art, music, learning languages, eco projects, diy projects and whatever you can teach us. Although our job is not directly related with this issues, we will love showing you the best part of Spain: the people, customs, museums, lovely towns, mountains, villages, animals and whatever you want to discover. We love spending time in nature, helping others, traveling and meeting new people. Our way of life wants to be linked to eco friendly routines everyday, and also our meals. We are not strictly vegetarians, but most of our diet is composed by eggs-milk-fruit-vegetables. Of course, we don't have any problem if you want to keep eating the way you want. We also love yoga and meditation, and would like to know more about it. We are very tolerant people and want to give you an unforgettable experience with us, and also we want to practice languages and meet a new friend. At this moment, I´m learning German, so if you are from Germany or if you talk German, I would be very happy.
