  Description

  We live in Usansolo (Vizcaya), a small town of approximately 4,000 inhabitants, surrounded by nature, and a 20-minute train ride from the center of Bilbao. Our family consists of two adults, my wife and I, our 7-year-old daughter, and our 5-year-old son. In Usansolo you can do outdoor sports, we are surrounded by nature, and in 20 minutes by train you can be in the center of Bilbao, where the cultural offer is very wide.
  My wife and I do not speak English well, so we ask that the person writing to us be able to communicate with us in Spanish.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a typical Spanish family. The Workaway host will learn the language and our customs. On weekends, we can take trips to places or cities near Bilbao, in the Basque Country or surrounding regions. The Workaway host can practice Spanish with us and, in turn, will interact with the children in English.

  Help

  We would like the Workaway partner to spend some time with our 5 and 7-year-old children to help them learn English. This could involve going to the park with them, playing games at home, accompanying them to extracurricular activities, etc., for two or three hours each afternoon, Monday to Friday.
