  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of 4. We have 11year old twin boys. We have been living in Spain and we love both Spanish and English culture and language.

    My step children live near by and are in their 20s - they have already offered to show our workawayer some of the more "trendy" places.

    We enjoy an outdoor life and our home in Christchurch in Dorset, is perfect for this with beaches and forest near by.

    We love to swim and surf and we like to paddle board and windsurf as well. And we would like to share those activities with someone too .


    We have a couple of (not very reliable) surf beaches near by - but they are fun.

    Ans a day out in London is only an hour away

    We are near the New Forest which is just beautiful and peaceful as well.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Christchurch is lovely but it is also near to the lively town of Bournemouth where there are lots of things to see and do.

    We are excited to show you the New Forest and beaches. We regularly go to the cinema and theatre and hope that you would like this too.

    We are near to Corfe Castle, The Royal Docks at Portsmouth and many other historical places - so there lots of opportunities for visits.

    This is an opportunity to improve your English and really enjoy a summery at the English Seaside -

    Accommodation

    We have a Garden house with a lounge and sleeping area - its separate from the house - so you can have privacy and spend time with us.

    Our house is in walking distance to Christchurch 10 minutes and a 10 minute cycle from the beach ( you will have use of a bike or longboard if you prefer)

    We keep a large selection of cereal and fruit for breakfast and generally have a light lunch and main meal in the evenings. We try and eat together for two meals everyday but this does not always work.
