  Description

  We're a little family of 2 looking for new friends. We're talkative, we love boardgames and family time, watching movies before sleep, picnics, nice cultural or scientific free or low-cost activities, animal and nature lovers, foodies, i like to think we're fun people.
  We're interested in learning french, italian or japanese, so if you speak some of these languages and are interesed in a good family and a safety (not luxury) place, let me know!! We also speak spanish of course and we both are fluent in english and we like to learn from other cultures and languages, so everyone is accepted here, You are welcome to join us for all of our family activities and you can also explore on your own at your leisure. I will mainly need help walking the dogs in the morning and evening and a little help with cooking and cleaning around the house, nothing big, just sweeping and mopping, washing dishes, things like that. Being a "baby sitter" for a night during the week would be amazing too.
  -------
  I like to be clear about the place, is very basic but safe and you'll have your own bathroom and key.
  -------
  It is important that you know that we cannot host couples but we can host children in case you're a parent traveler. We can't either accommodate anyone who smokes for health reasons. The food that I offer you is very varied, just as we can eat things from the Middle East, we can also prepare the best tamales, so be sure that you will eat delicious, nutritious and varied. We want to try your favorite food too, so please share with us some of your country.

We're very well located, so you can easily go to basically any place in the city, I can give you advices and recommendations and provide you a phototour by the center of the city with some information about history.

  Help

  Most important: we want you to be part of our family. We HATE people who make us feel as if we were owing something just for the "privilege" of hosting you. This is an EXCHANGE, please don't be that kind of guest.
  
  I need you to walk the dogs for 1 hour in the morning and 45 minutes at night (extra points if you can train them a little bit), speak totally in English while you are at home, you can teach us about your language as well, I will need help at home like sweeping, mopping, washing dishes and things like that. We are talking about 2.5 hours in the morning and 2 hours at night, you can explore the city during the rest of the day on your own, but if you want to spend some time with us, we can organize a picnic, play board games, have a barbecue in the patio or watch a movie together.
  It could be that one day I need you to take care of my daughter, if I have to go out during evening.

  Accommodation

  You'll have your own room with independent entrance, I'll give you a key so you'll have privacy and independence. We'll provide dinner and fruits always available so you can explore during the day. THROWING FOOD TO THE GARBAGE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. So if you don't like something, please let me know before I prepare it for you (example, you don't like spinach).
  Bedroom is on my roof, is very very small, please consider this, we absolutely cannot accept more than one person at time. It has a couch that becomes a bed, it's own wc and shower but not hot water for now so you'll have to use ours. I'll provide clean towel, blankets and sheets.
