  Description

  We're a family with two kids. A 6 years old boy and an 8 years old girl. The mother is 37 and she's a Primary school teacher. The father is 41 and he's a hotel owner. We have a little dog. We're a happy family that love music, arts, dance and read. Our hobbies are ballroom dancing, pottery, jewelry (we have a small atelier at home), and tea!
  
  The little boy loves to speak English and is starting to learn to play piano. He loves all related to the space and Math, he has a high IQ. The little girl is really clever and it is possible that also has a high iQ. She's very talkative and creative. We'd like to host someone who would like to stay as another member of our family. We want to improve our English and we ask for help with the daily routines or gardening.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live near Figueres, which is a town from Catalonia. There are so many cultural places to visit and we’re also near to France and we can go to visit some places there. Costa brava is a really nice place to go in summer, we have an apartment next to the beach, we can also spend some days there. We love culture, so we can provide information and organize trips with the guest to show or explain interesting places for him or her.
