    Description

    Hello! My name is Isabel. I was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Argentina. I've been living in Bilbao for seven years now, a city that has given me a beautiful home and where I've built my current life.

    I'm self-employed and have my own business, which keeps me quite busy. Precisely for this reason, it would be great to have the help of people who can collaborate with some household chores and, especially, with the care and company of my dogs, who are a fundamental part of my family.

    I'm an open, approachable person and I truly enjoy cultural exchanges. I love meeting people from different parts of the world and sharing everyday experiences.

    ¡Hola! Mi nombre es Isabel. Nací en la República Dominicana y me crié en Argentina. Hace ya siete años que vivo en Bilbao, una ciudad que me ha regalado un hermoso hogar y donde he construido mi vida actual.

    Trabajo de manera independiente, tengo mi propio emprendimiento, lo cual me mantiene bastante ocupada. Justamente por eso, me vendría muy bien contar con la ayuda de personas que puedan colaborar en algunas tareas de la casa y, especialmente, en el cuidado y la compañía de mis perritos, que son parte fundamental de mi familia.

    Soy una persona abierta, cercana y disfruto mucho del intercambio cultural. Me encanta conocer personas de diferentes partes del mundo y compartir experiencias cotidianas.

    • Comfortable accommodation in my home in Bilbao, well located and close to public transportation.
    • Shared meals, although you can buy what you need on your own. We usually have dinner together and also often share breakfast and lunch.
    • Plenty of free time for you to explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace.
    • A welcoming space to exchange experiences, practice languages, and enjoy a pleasant stay.

    My partner John (Spanish Basque), a Colombian friend/roommate, a guy from Oviedo, and I currently live in the house. The house has three floors. You could stay in the attic, which is very comfortable and spacious, or in another room with a shared bathroom with two of the roommates.

    We strive to create an environment of respect, good coexistence, and mutual enjoyment.
