Description
I’m a single mum renovating a cortijo in Andalucía. A former art and music teacher we love the arts and really enjoy any exchange of this kind. I practice yoga and meditate daily and am a pescatarian (although my kids are not).
We love life, laugh a lot, and enjoy each other’s company as a family. As we are bilingual we could concentrate on speaking Spanish if this is helpful. I am a language teacher too and am happy to help with either basic Spanish or any level of English.
We live in the mountains - 5 minutes off the main road between Granada and Murcia. The weather in the summer months is beautifully hot. 1 hour from the beach we are right on many mountain trails and near free range farms with goats, pigs, horses etc.
It’s incredibly peaceful here- a very faint and quiet hum from the motorway at night- the stars are just amazing- no light pollution at all. The air is clean with minimal air pollution.
The local town is 10 minutes away- July and August it hosts an Olympic size, super clean swimming pool.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Art Projects
DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We love music and art, we frequently do watercolors, dance and sing in harmony. I cook curries often and would love a cooking intercambio!
We can help with English and Spanish language skills.
Having lived in Cambodia for 2 years I am particularly interested in Asia and in culture in general. We are an English/Irish family living in Spain- culture and how it affects people is hugely interesting to us.

Help
I would love to finish The patio as a pebble mosaic on a layer of concrete. In order to do this I’d love help! Also a few other minor painting tasks, perhaps some general maintenance.
