Have a language exchange with a local family in Namur, Belgium

  Description

  Mom (Maria, 42 years) and daughter (Paloma, 6 years), single parent family, taking the best out of what every day can bring. We live in a sunny appartement in Namur close to the city center and the countryside.
  We speak French at home, but mom speaks 4 more languages (Italian, Dutch, English and Portuguese). I like to cook healthy food and I am currently working with refugee women. Previously, I was active in the audiovisual field as a production assistant and as a project manager for a multinational.
  On long-term, my intention is to live in a community, join a settled-one or gather people together. The location is not yet defined, nature is a must. By hosting workawayers, I would like to get a better sight on this topic.
  
  As a workawayer, you will help us mainly for babysitting, cooking or little tasks at home.
  I'm willing to improve recipes, but have no time enough for it. It would be lovely to investigate flavours together.
  I'm willing to grow into slow and zero waste, time is missing...
  Are you an English native speaker? It would be great to improve my pronunciation with you :)
  Paloma is a vivid and very musical minded toddler. As I'm not a musician, every opportunity to bring music home is welcome.
  
  This in the form, but I am eager to meet people that likes the idea of sharing knowledge whatever the age. Help us to increase our practice that we are all part of a larger community.
  It would be great to meet you!
