    Description

    My name is Rod and I am 51 years old. I am a teacher and work at a high school. I speak Spanish (mother tongue), Norwegian, English, and a little bit of French. Now, I am spending a sabatical year in the countryside near Quito with my family. My interests are music, languages, sport, cooking, books, dansing, gardening, and so forth. I like traveling and experiencing new countries and cultures, and at the same time practicing languages.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can experience Ecuador in many ways. Beautiful nature: mountains, forests, lakes, sea, cities, towns, indian markets and so forth. If you are interested in learning the Spanish language, dancing or cooking, it is the correct place. You can also experience the countryside life since I have a property out of the city.
