Description
Hi my name is Gavin, I would like assistance with general house hold activities maybe some decorating, painting wood work etc, and gardening, I'm happy to teach and learn any crafts, art, exercise and cooking of world cuisine. In university I studied furniture restoration and conservation, I've studied Taiichi for twenty years, played semi professional baseball, I cook a lot of Asian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and other world cuisines and enjoy learning new food culture. I have many hobbies and interests, I enjoy learning new things. My house is located at the top of a mountain about 10 minutes drive to the town of Aspe, Its a beautiful location with lots of small traditional Spanish villages nearby, and about 25 minutes drive to Alicante airport and 30 minutes drive to incredible beaches, I'm English, I speak Spanish and some Japanese. If you want to do language exchange that could count towards some of your 4 hours of work per day.
