Description
I write books about tango and manage a tango app for tango dancers. My wife is a lawyer, who turned flight attentand. My son is just awesome.
I love reading, exercising, juggling, tango, and helping people experience moments of meaning. My wife loves simplicity, minimalism, and safety. My son loves playing, exploring, and running behind our two dogs.
I am vegan, and my wife is vegetarian. We love healthy nutrition.
We are a bit introverts, and we love meaningful conversations.
We love being around people who love nature and a simple life, and we don't relate so much with crazy-life-party-going people. In fact, you can watch Ed Sheeran's Beautiful People video on YouTube, and you will get an idea about us :-p
Types of help and learning opportunities
Teaching
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in the center of Portugal, in Antanhol, close to Coimbra, the country's vibrant student city. I am half Greek, half German, and my wife is Portuguese who grew up in France. In other words, we are a European-salad kind of family. We can take you to the train station closeby to explore the south and north of Portugal, or you can simply choose to lay back under the sun and take advantage of the swimming pool.
If you are into personal development, marketing, finding your life's purpose, getting a meaningful job, or creating your own company, a library with lots of books on those topics (English) is waiting for you.
Help
We are looking for Workawayers that can help us in one or more of these three areas:
Cook yummy vegan food and help with dishes after the meals and some housework.
Play with our son
We want a fun, loving person to spend time with our 8 y.o. son, play football with him, and help him develop (creative play). Extra points if you can sing orplay an instrument. What we want is a person that can spark our son's creativity and curiosity.
Teach us to dance Salsa and Bachata, teach us breathwork and/or yoga, teach us any other movement improvement method (like Feldenkrais, Franklin method, Gyrokineses etc.)

I have already lived with many different families abroad as an au-pair, exchange student, or residential tutor and I have to say that I had never felt so welcome and at home as I felt in Antanhol with Dimitris and his family. They are all very friendly,… read more
