Description
Hi! I am Barbara. Originally i am from the Netherlands, and since 4 years i am living in the north of Spain, in the province of Cantabria. And i love it here. The area i live in is very rural, green and beautiful. My house is on a mountain (a beautiful place) and the wheather is divers (sometimes (very) sunny, sometimes rainy, almost never too hot, leading to this bright green environment here :)) - please note this is nothing like the south of Spain, it can be warm, but is rarely too hot and a bit less sunny).
I have a large garden, incl vegetable garden, a young dog, and every other week my two children (9 and 13) stay here too. I would be happy with some company and cultural exchange. I speak English (fluently), Spanish (advanced), Dutch (native) and understand quite some more.
In the valleys here live quite some more immigrants. I work in an international contact and like meeting new people of various backgrounds. Feel free to contact me.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am Dutch, living in Spain, i speak 3 languages very well (English, Spanish, Dutch) and understand quite some more. My friends have a variety of nationalities, my work is always in an international context ( i travel a lot, already all of my adult life) and im happy to meet new people and learn new things. Openness to a variation of (political) perspectives is needed when knowing such a pluriformity of people - i love to learn from everyone. If you are looking for a openminded and happy place, feel welcome!

Accommodation
There is a tent in my large garden that you can place where ever you like. Bedding etc is also available of course. My house is open for you to use 24/7, incl shower, toilet, kitchen, living, etc. In the garden there is space to make a fire, and i have some hammocks you can use. If there is anything you need more you can always just let me know. We can eat together, ill show you the cup boards, the fridge and i dont mind to cook. But all in freedom - if you like to make other plans, that is also fine.
