  Description

  We are a Christian couple 55/51 years old, bilingual educators (English/Spanish). We have two adult daughters who visit regularly on some weekends. We are travelers who are passionate about learning about/from other cultures and share our skills with anyone who would benefit from it. A woman or a couple of similar ages would be preferred, but not exclusive. No smoking and no pets in our home. We live in Hutto, Texas, a suburban area ideal for the tranquility of a small town, but close to the excitement of the urban areas.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You would benefit from learning about the Hispanic-American culture. We can cook together: home-made tortillas, enchiladas, tacos, etc. We spent last summer in Italy, so we can also cook Italian recipes we learned. We can also take you to some of the main attractions in Texas in our car. However, if you have your own car, you could visit places of interests during your free time.
