Details
Description
We're a family of three. I am a Texan who has lived internationally half of my life (10 years in Argentina). My wife is Bulgarian who has lived in other countries for 15 years. Our son is soon to be 13 (end of 2023) and is very curious, and loves learning about other cultures.
We also travel a lot, so there's possibility of house-sitting and looking after a very sweet hunting dog named Ginger.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in a small village in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria near the Greek border. Lots of beautiful hiking and not many people in the village speak other languages other than Bulgarian, so learning some Cyrillic is helpful (not as hard as it looks).
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.

Other useful skills/knowledge: Spanish or German (for our teenager), sport of personal training knowledge, video shooting/editing (this would be paid work), piano (to teach a teenager)....
