  • Description

    Description

    We are in the mountains of Atenas, surrounded by nature, perfect climate and central and easy access to many touristic destinations of the country.
    We have 2 kids 2 and 4 years old, and a cat and we are looking for someone who enjoys being around kids.

    I am a certified professional coach specialized in life transitions (and happy to give you a session ;-) , and my husband is a professional chef specialized in plant-based cuisine. You are welcome to learn with him if you are interested in cooking!
    We would love our kids to have language exchange, they speak Spanish, understand French and have started to learn English.

    If you are someone with skills in digital marketing, photography, social media for businesses, we can also exchange on that part as we could use help for our businesses.

    Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
