Description
I live in Llanera, in a beautiful valley with my dog Sheldon, an adorable 3-year-old puli. Nobody else. My 33-year-old son lives in Norway. My house is being built in the countryside (that is why I cannot upload any pictures yet) and it will be ready by February, that is why I will need a little help arranging the new garden. The new house will have an extra room with a bathroom in suite for guests like you. I used to teach Spanish for Red Cross and English in a private school, so I can help with that.

It’s an area near two big cities with lots of activities and social life, one of the, Gijón, has a beach and lots of bars and restaurants, and is 30 minutes away by car. The other one, Oviedo, has an Opera Season, Zarzuela season, ballet season, lots of classical music, an important museum with famous paintings, and several other exhibitions and cultural events. I, myself, used to teach Spanish to inmigrants for Red Cross and English in a private school, so I can help with learning Spanish and English.
Help
I would love to share my home with someone who loves gardening and decorating gardens. It is a new house and therefore a new garden, and I cannot do it all by myself.
If you like dogs, walking Sheldon would be great. He is well educated and loves going for long walks. I am studying Norwegian, and I speak Spanish, English, Russian and a bit of French and Italian.Languages

I am very interested in practicing Norwegian. My son moved there some years ago and I am trying to learn as much as possible. I used to teach Spanish and English so I can help with that.Accommodation
I can offer a room with a big bed and it’s own bathroom. Kitchen and living room are available but shared with me. I will cook for both but only regular food will be provided. Sorry, no intolerances accepted (veggies will take care of their own food).
What else ...
There is a bus stop with a regular service morning and afternoon that connects with the town for further services.
My home is a non smoking place, nor is the garden.A little more information
