Come and enjoy the coastal and bush areas around Grahamstown, South Africa

Description

I am 47 years old, mother of two adult children. We live in the Eastern Cape, my work is full time, though flexible, in a real estate business. I enjoy reading, art, cooking, hiking and sport, particularly tennis.

I have attempted to learn Spanish a few times, but have little practice and loose the language again very quickly.

Primarily, my needs are language practice, but I would like help gardening and maintenance.

I prefer to have people who can speak a little English as my Spanish is not that good yet!
