Description
Hello!
My name is Helena and I have a spare room in my house in Ferrol, Spain.
Ferrol is a town in the north-west of the country and it is well-known for its beautiful beaches and good surfing waves.
Given that, I would like host someone who wants to enjoy surfing in the area and, in exchange, could give me some lessons. I have my own materials, the only thing I need is a bit of help to get into it.
If you are not into surfing, I can also host you if you can teach me something else, such as salsa and bachata dancing :)
Hola!
Me llamo Helena y tengo una habitación libre en mi casa en Ferrol, España.
Ferrol se encuentra en Galicia, en el noroeste del país y es conocido por sus preciosas playas con buenas olas para surfear.
Por eso me gustaría alojar a alguien que quiera venir a disfrutar del surf en esta zona y, a cambio, me enseñe un poco. Yo tengo mi propio material, solo necesito un empujoncito para cogerle el tranquillo.
Si no sabes hacer surf, también podría negociar clases de otra cosa, como salsa y bachata :)

Gastón is a great guy, full of energy, knowledge and life experiences to share. He is an easygoing and open-minded person. Sharing some time with him was inspiring, even though we could not find the time to surf, I was more than happy to have him at home and learn about kitesurfing, one of his passions.
