Activities we are interested in:
We're arriving in Uruguay at the beginning of December. We're looking for a volunteer to help us learn Spanish, learn new things and meet new people in a pleasant environment.
Description
Having been a couple for 11 years, we're finally taking our trip in the truck we've fitted out. 1st destination? South America!
We love :
• hiking - but we're not always well organised: we climbed Machu Picchu without water
• being out in nature, surrounded by animals - although Ophélie is scared of rats
• having a good time in the company of friendly people - Germain is an excellent cook, and Ophélie is great at doing the dishes.
We're easygoing and good company (or at least we hope so!).
