  Descripción

  We are a retired couple in a rural mountain community (elevation 8,500 ft, 2,600 meters, Population 400) next to Rocky Mountain National Park.
  Need a strong worker (or couple) to split and stack 6+ cords (22+ cu meters) of firewood before snow starts.
  
  We have very rudimentary French and German language skills, would like to practice. We teach classes locally in Qigong, Tai Chi, Juggling, and Journalism, and welcome practitioners or interested beginners.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We are asking for about 20 hours per week.
  Work on your own schedule - 2 or 3 hours a day everyday; or work hard for 10 hours on 2 days and take 5 days off, or whatever.
  That leaves lots of time for relaxing and exploring.
  September and October are best months for visiting the mountains.
  Aspen are turning color, elk are rutting, weather is perfect - warm days and cool evenings.
  
  We share a property boundary with the National Forest. National Park Entrances are less than 2 miles away.
  We view a lot of wildlife from our home: moose, elk, deer, bears, bobcat, coyotes, turkey, eagles, great horned owls, and more.
  
  There are numerous nearby small mountain towns with local cultural activities.
  Boulder Colorado is 45 minutes away. It has been voted US's "Happiest City", "Highest Well Being Community", "Fittest City", and is home to several world recognized universities, and to a thriving high tech industry.
  
  Ft Collins is 1 hour away. Fort Collins is the cultural hub of northern Colorado. The city is full of so many great museums and art galleries that it's hard to choose just one to visit.
  
  My wife and I teach Qigong, Tai Chi, Juggling, and English Writing locally, and have regular personal practices.
  We'd be pleased to share those with interested beginners or practitioners.
  
  We both have very rudimentary French language skills, and would appreciate a chance to practice.

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  We are on a narrow dirt road, some distance from paved roads. A small caravan might work, not a large one. We can work out details as they arise.
