Description

I use to be an apprentice it means half student and half worker, I use to work in the field, mostly outside so I know how to handle physical task.

I would like to learn about, cultures, countries, different ways of thinking and open mindedness. I would also like to improve my English and I'm sure you can help me ;).

My aim is also to discover the fauna and flora of this beautiful country.
If I could, I would like to work on environmental and conservation issues, in its largest meaning. However this doesn't mean that I am not interested in other domaines, quite the contrary!!!

Clara and Nora stayed with us for almost a week. They were great with the kids, clean, tidy and respectful. It was a wet week, so not so much outside work but they were happy to adapt and help with the kids and other inside tasks.
We really enjoyed having them stay. They were bright and bubbly and fitted in well here.
They are welcome back anytime.
