Description
Family looking for native English or Spanish speakers (please not with too "thick" accents :-)) or very good English, to play and talk to a 13 yr old son. His English is great, in Spanish he is more of a beginner.
We live in a large house with my parents who are in their own household and grow their own organic vegetables. We are professionals, own a car dealership business and we also rent out a couple of cottages to tourists.
Son plays a piano and evening musical get together can be unforgettable, especially if you can join in with your instrument.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We love to travel and experience different cultures, habits, foods,... however since our son plays a piano anyone who can play some music could be a fun addition to our evenings. We would love to spend time with you, learn form you (perhaps cooking, gardening,...). I am also a soap maker, and happy to teach you how it is made.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We have many different activities, so we might have a variety of tasks available (childcare, general cooking and light cleaning, some keep up tasks, gardening, building...). Tell us what you know and like to do and we will let you know if we can agree to it.
We expect you to help with meal preparation and clean up, just like all members of a regular household do.
Our son goes to Montessori school in the mornings, so spending the afternoons or a few hours on the weekend with him is what you would need to schedule around. We are opened to take a trip together on the weekends. Drivers licence is a must.

What else ...
Slovenia is a small country; most sights are within an hour drive away. We are located 1 min from the bus station, 2 min to the train station, and we could even negotiate to lend you a vehicle and bicycles. Ljubljana is 15 min via car and 23 min via train away. Wonderful country, you will be amazed at the quality of life here. We can point you to many different sights/activities you would like to do, depending on your preference. If we will have time, my family could even join you on a weekend trip.
