Description
Hi!
We are a family of 4 + Kiko, our dog. We have a girl (10 years old) and a boy (9 years old).
Dad is an engineer and mum, a teacher.
We love having friends round and meeting new people. We've had 5 aupairs and 3 workawayers (really enriching experiences). Our last workawayer actually repeated coming back last summer!
We live in Tortosa, a small city near El Delta de l'Ebre and Els Ports, and an hour from Tarragona and 2 hours from Barcelona. We live in a house with garden and swimming pool. It's very close to nice mountains and ten minutes walk from downtown and train station.
Beach is 25 minutes by train.
We love sports and the area is great for outdoor sports.
We're all really sporty here! Our kids like doing sport too. They also like reading, playing games, baking, art and crafts and love listening to stories. They understand English very well and are able to speak it fluently. We'd like to have an English speaker guest in order to practise our English.
Our diet is very healthy, full of fresh fruit and veggies, and we're really conscious of what we eat.
We open our home to someone interested in sharing time with us and exchanging knowledge and experience. Our primary goal is to practise our English. So it'd be basically spending time with us and helping out with our day-to-day routine.

Help
We'd like to practise our English. We'd like our guest to play with our kids and to give us a hand with our everyday routine.
If the guest had her own family with kids our kids' age the better! Our kids would be thrilled to make new friends and play with them and show them around.
