Description
Hello, we are a family of four. Father (John) is a physical education teacher, and mother (Carolina) is a math teacher. Our oldest daughter (Mariana) is 12 years old, and our youngest son (Matías) is 8; they are intelligent, loving, and cheerful children. We work and study during the morning. We live in a beautiful house with a wonderful view, in a rural area of the municipality of Cáqueza (Colombia), very close to Bogotá D.C., in a temperate climate (16°C - 22°C). We love animals and have two German shepherd dogs and two cats. We love to cook and dance. We are kind and hospitable people who want to learn other languages so we can travel the world, learn about other cultures, and make new friends. We would also love to start practicing yoga, Pilates, or similar practices to improve our physical and mental health.
We invite you to visit us, share, learn together and above all to be part of our family, for a minimum period of two weeks.

Help
Our main objective is to learn languages, so basically we are interested in a person who lives with us and teaches us their language (English or Korean, mainly) and who shares the afternoons with us and our children playing, cooking or doing activities that allow us to interact and learn the language, as well as teach ours. You can also help us with the garden or the kitchen or maybe art activities

También nos puedes ayudar con el jardín o la cocina o actividades de arte.
