Details
Description
Spanish? We are planning a trip there ourselves and would welcome you to stay with us so that we can practice our Spanish and learn more about your life there before we go ourselves. We'll do this while we do some gardening together and other skills you may have ie, music, art or especially futbol!
Offering exchange (we will do with you so to assist our language skills) in great location for accommodation, wifi and meals. Rolling green hills on the edge of the artistic, rural village of Fish Creek, close to beaches, Wilson's Prom and about 2 hours from Melbourne.
We are a family of four - 12 & 10 year old boys (I know the photos are old). Accommodation provides both you and us sense of own space. We are early to bed, early to rise people (get things done and minimising unnecessary impact on environment).
Given that we are a family set up, it works best if you are able to commit at least 2 weeks or more to being with us (we have found that some 1 week stays are exhausting and disruptive for us and does not enable you time to be immersed in this amazing region with so much to offer). After initial messages we always have a video call to get to know each other a bit better before either you or us commit.
