Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

I am a very experienced English language teacher, and I'm happy to help visitors who don't have English as a first language. I live near a beautiful beach and enjoy swimming there. I also have a lot of friends to share with my guests.

Help

I look after my orchard and vegetable garden organically. It is good to have help e.g. collecting seaweed, fertilising trees, pruning, weeding, cutting firewood, small repairs in the house.
