  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I love to travel and have been to Cuba, Mexico, the USA, India, Denmark, Italy, England, explored Istanbul and Morocco, Budapest and Berlin among others. This winter, I'm planning a trip to the US and Vietnam. I'm looking forward to discovering what's new on this planet. I'm said to be a good cook and I can teach you how to cook. The Basque region where I live is magnificent for those who love gentle mountains and forests. I've been teaching for a long time and can give French or Spanish conversation lessons. I practice yoga and love to read.

  Help

  I live in a typical Basque house and in November I need to install fruit trees, build a few steps in my small vegetable garden, build a garden shed and put up a fence. I have tools and I'm resourceful when it comes to DIY, but I've been a bit overwhelmed by my bed and breakfast business lately. So as I have been inter-active just before Covid episod with workaway as a worker I thought it could be great to be a host now!
