  Description

  We are an Italian couple, both 34 years old, and we have been living in Cantabria for about three years. We’re lucky enough to live just five minutes from the ocean, in a region full of nature and stunning beaches, especially loved by surfers.
  
  I’m Valentina, and I work during the week, leaving my weekends free. In my spare time, I enjoy making macramé. Matteo is an illustrator and comic artist who works from home and loves surfing and spending time in nature.

  Help

  We’re not looking for any specific skills. We’d love some help with household chores and cooking, but most of all, we’d love to have someone who could help us improve our English and teach us a little along the way.
  Matteo is passionate about surfing and has an intermediate level. He would also love to meet other surfers who could help him improve his skills.
