Description
Hey volunteers! I'm Juan, and I’m from Neuquén. I'm looking for people who like learning languages. I have had a really nice experience using Workaway so far, but I'm not very interested in work exchange. I offer free bed and board and have WiFi as well. I'm not very rich, but do have all the basics necessary for a normal living. I have had some problems communicating with previous volunteers, and it’s something that I'm working on currently. I'm not highly social, it can be hard for me to begin a conversation. I hope to change that in the near future.
This isn't a very touristy place really. If you decide to come here, you should keep this in mind. I like to invite people who have already travelled a lot, mostly because they appreciate this kind of exchange more than new travellers. I can be a little bit boring, and there might not be as many fun things to do here, but I do like to watch movies and listen to different kinds of music. I'm always open to new ideas.
If you like to travel and see everything as fast as you can, then this is not the place for you. I can take you to museums, and places where people like to hang out, like rivers and the city.
If you're only interested in visiting beautiful places, this may be the wrong place for you. There are nicer places 200 km south of here ( you might consider visiting me after you have travelled through Patagonia).
I don't drink or smoke, but I'm not against it if you do want to drink or smoke here.
I don't like marijuana or any other illicit drugs, I'm not interested in knowing if you use them or not, just don't do it while you stay here with me.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
How do you benefit? Spanish from a native speaker, the experience of cultural exchange and meeting all the people that I know. I'll show you my native city, and we can see what else I could offer to do so that you have a nice time staying here.
Help
Hopefully the title is enough, but just in case, I'll say it again, I JUST want to learn languages. I'll be glad if you have any previous knowledge, (don't worry if you’re not familiar with how to teach language), I hope you like studying languages. some help in the house is always good as well, just keeping the house clean is all.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Fluent
Russian: Fluent
Accommodation
You can find nice beds with nice pillows, free WiFi, 24 hours, food, a 41" tv to watch movies on the sofa here. As well as all the usual stuff you’d find in a house. The house isn't very big, nor very beautiful, just a normal house. Don't expect a palace!
What else ...
You’ll have a lot of free time (I'm very flexible). I work from Monday to Friday all morning.

Tuve una experiencia increíble con Simón, a pesar de que físicamente somos muy diferentes, nuestras personalidades se parecen mucho! Por eso pudimos vivir juntos durante 7 meses. Es un chico increíble, inteligente, organizado, para mi es demasiado alemán! Porque yo soy todo lo contrario! Una persona a la extraño muchísimo y… read more
first of all, I know that this Feedback comes a year too late, but "besser spaet als nie" as the Germans like to say.
The time I spent in your house (around half a year, although I only wanted to stay around a month at first) has been simply incredible, and the best workaway experience I had.
Juan is a great guy, he taught me a lot of… read more

We have big workaway experience, Juan's project was 23rd in our trip. And it was the best one! No, you can't find in his city nothing special, but you can find it in Juan. He is incredble kind person — 1 for a million people on this planet. Timid, shy, sometimes can apologize for nothing full day, but at the same time bold… read more
Nos gustó mucho esta 'tranquila ciudad' !
Juan es muy simpático y muy disponible para quedarse con nosotros y visitar su región.
Aunque no es fácil pronunciar el francés esperamos que te ayudemos un poco !
Gracias por las lecciones básicas de francés y por lo que cocinaron!. Nuestras charlas fueron muy interesantes y me abrieron la mente (Es un placer encontrar gente así para conversar).
Regresen cuando quieran y ojalá pueda hablar un poco mejor en Francés si lo hacen.
Les deseo lo mejor para su viaje por… read more
Juan is too good for this world.
Among working in house and garden (here is still a lot to do), we could speak with him about his future (even though our problems in Spanish and English). Juan is very intelligent and must use his talents consistent.
Thank You very much for:
- the trips to the surroundings and… read more
As there was a lot of work in the house and in the garden we did not just practiced languages. When Juan was busy with work in the mornings it was never boring because there is always something to do and he's always open for ideas in the garden or in the house.
Anyway it was very… read more
