Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have lived in 7 countries , have moved to Spain 3 years ago and are learning Spanish.
During my work as an international Hotel General Manager, I have worked in these countries with staff from many different countries and cultures.
I have tought Hebrew and Dutch to small groups.
While I am interested in learning Spanish and improve my Arabic, the workaways could learn Dutch ,German, or Dutch with us.
My wife has some experience with organic, sustainable gardening.
In Holland she owned together with our daughter a big organic flower garden where clients could pick there own flowers.
In Spain we now have a big garden with citrus , fruit trees and Olive trees.Always some garden work to do.
