Description
Hi! I'm Berts, and right now I'm into the project of refurbishing a very old house. Quite a big project, but I'm taking it easy. I would appreciate a bit of help, work 3 hours maximum, very flexible and not every day. Little by little I see the progress and it's very rewarding.
Hi there! , I live in Castalla, a small town in the mountains, in Alicante, with my son Ewan ( 11 years old). We are willing to improve our English and we are looking for a English native speaker to help us, in exchange we offer accommodation and meals
We also have a garden, with an orchard and olive trees at two kilometres from our house.
If you want to enjoy the nice weather, learn Spanish and experience the Spanish lifestyle, contact us 😉

We live in Castalla, (it's 30 kilometres from Alicante city) it's a quiet town with plenty hiking trails in the mountains, the beach it's half an hour away. We like visiting places too and we'll be happy to show you around. We offer meals and the opportunity to use the kitchen at your own will. I'd like the visitors to spend time playing with Ewan so he can learn English in a funny way.
