  Description

  We are a family with one young boy, I am from Latin America and my Wife from Poland. We fell in love with La Orotava which is a cosy charming little town and moved here to an old house where we are doing renovations. We have old items for the local community and ideas for garden and woodwork that we would like to develop together with you. Keeping the local architecture and learning with neighbours about the local practices

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are well adapted to the culture - but we still discover some of it, you can share these experiences with us: Mountain hiking, discovering new beaches and new towns. You will see how we have a multicultural family mixing Venezuelan, Canarian (which is half Venezuelan :) ) and Polish culture - plus what yours if you are willing to share
  
  We also work here and can show you the local laws/industries. As for hobbies we are passionate about health & well being - we would love to share our diet with you - and last we are heavy board game fans: from party games to heavy euros: more players always welcome!

  Help

  Gardening: we want to have a variety of fruit plants and our garden has specific conditions to bear in mind. We need to be creative to have plants that yield fruit , dont get sick and make it look cosy for a house. You would be part of this project with us. We are learning , if you have knowledge to share - great , otherwise we share what we learn with you
  
  House light help: We are in the process of sanding old traditional wood which cannot be found anymore in the island. The idea is not to throw this away and recover it for creative furniture and to give a way to other families. We have old items that need to be cleaned and given away, and we have light tasks to do repairing walls and painting we are doing this ourselves and would like you to do light help on these tasks.
