    Description

    I am an eternal apprentice. I speak English and since 5 years ago I am studying Mandarin, an experience that has far exceeded expectations. I am convinced that when you visit a country and you do not know the local language you miss so much about the experience and you become just one more tourist. I would like to learn any language. By the way i have my little house is close to Andes, very near of the Calbuco volcano and Lago Chapo, at the countryside and i need someone to stay here during the day the whole week meanwhile i´m working, so you can help me with the garden and maintenance of the river beside my house. Every weekend i´m at home so you can leave if you wish. If you are interested just leave a message. Some weeks in september or october i use to travel along 2 or 3 weeks, so i will need you stay there taking care of my dogs, So if you like the idea we can talk about it. Welcome

    Soy un eterno aprendiz. Hablo inglés y hace 5 años estudio mandarín, una experiencia que ha superado ampliamente mis expectativas. Soy un convencido de que cuando visitas un país y no sabes su idioma te pierdes gran parte de la experiencia y te conviertes solo en un turista más. Quisiera aprender cualquier idioma. Me puedes ayudar?

    A propósito tengo una pequeña casa cerca del volcán Calbuco en la cordillera de Los Andes y del Lago Chapo en el campo donde necesito un cuidador o cuidadora para que se quede durante la semana durante el día. El fin de semana yo estoy en casa por lo que no es necesario que te quedes si no quieres.. Ofrezco techo y compartir lo necesario a cambio de su ayuda con la manutención del jardín y del río que pasa por el lado de mi casa.

    During March 2026, I am looking for someone who can help me look after my countryside house while I leave the city for a while.

    It is a small cabin near the volcano and beside a river, very peaceful and beautiful.

    I would need you to stay there for two weeks. The main idea is to take care of the house from Monday to Friday. You would be free to leave every weekend if you want. I would also be happy to spend some time together once I return, or a couple of days before I leave.

    Anyway, there is another small house next to the main house where you could stay and enjoy your own privacy.

    It would be great if you could stay for a few months, so we could also do a language exchange.

    Let me know if you have any questions. You are very welcome.
