Description
We are a traditional family with 2 children of 13 and 14 years old and we would like to improve our level of French, hosting a person in our house for approximately a month each workayer. We will also help our guest improve their level of Spanish and enjoy the experience. I consider myself a happy and fun person, I love going out with my friends to dinner or to see a show, taking a walk in the countryside, playing sports or shopping. At home we all love to travel and learn from new experiences. I am an economist and I work in banking. I love helping my clients make their dreams come true. My husband is also an economist and works in real estate (renovations, rentals,...). The children are now "grown up" so they are quite independent. Lucía and Jorge are very different in personality but they are both charming and polite. If you want to be part of our family, culture and traditions, we will be happy to welcome you and share our time with you. Thank you
Somos una familia tradicional con 2 niños de 13 y 14 años y nos gustaría mejorar nuestro nivel de francés, acogiendo una persona en nuestra casa durante un mes aproximadamente. Nosotros también haremos que nuestra invitada pueda mejorar su nivel de español y disfrutar de la experiencia. Yo me considero una persona alegre y divertida, me encanta salir con mis amigas a cenar o a ver un espectáculo, dar un paseo por el campo, hacer deporte o de compras. En casa a todos nos encanta viajar y aprender de nuevas experiencias. Soy economista y trabajo en banca. Me encanta ayudar a mis clientes a conseguir que sus sueños se hagan realidad. Mi marido también es economista y trabaja en inmobiliaria (reformas, alquileres, ...). Los niños ya son "mayores" por lo que son bastante independientes. Lucía y Jorge son muy diferentes de personalidad pero ambos son encantadores y educados. Si quieres formar parte de nuestra familia, cultura y tradiciones, estaremos encantados de recibirte y compartir contigo nuestro tiempo.Gracias

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They will learn Spanish culture, our traditions, the language and enjoy the experience of living in Spain. We will be able to teach you Spanish, you will accompany us if you wish on our trips, we will jointly decide the activities we will do on the weekends, and we will do everything possible to achieve the objectives you have set during your stay in Spain. Both I and my husband have spent years abroad (10 years in my husband's case), both in families, student residences or jobs and we know the needs of someone who is outside their country. We speak English, French, some German and Italian to solve any problem. Our goal is to improve our level of French, especially that of our daughter, who will spend a term at a school in Lille with a family at the end of this year.
Aprenderán la cultura española, nuestras tradiciones, el idioma y disfrutarán de la experiencia de vivir en España. Podremos enseñarle español, nos acompañará si lo desea en nuestros viajes, decidiremos conjuntamente las actividades que haremos los fines de semana, y haremos todo lo posible para lograr los objetivos que se haya marcado en su estancia en España. Tanto yo como mi marido hemos pasado años en el extranjero (10 años en el caso de mi marido ), tanto en familias como residencias de estudiantes o trabajos y sabemos las necesidades de alguien que está fuera de su pais. Hablamos inglés, frances, algo de aleman e italiano para resolver cualquier problema. Nuestro objetivo es mejorar nuestro nivel de francés,sobre todo el de nuestro hijo que va a pasar un trimestre en una escuela de Francia con una familia a finales de este año.

We live in a small house and the guest will have her own room.
We will pay for all the food. We usually eat out once a week. Regarding preparing meals, you will not have to cook for the family. On some occasions we will cook everything ourselves for the workawayer and we would love for you to make a dish from your country if you wish, but there is no obligation.
Vivimos en una casita y la invitada tendrá su propia habitación.
Nosotros pagaremos toda la comida. Solemos comer fuera una vez a la semana. Respecto a elaborar las comidas, no tendrá que cocinar para la familia.
