  Descripción

  We are a family who lives in downtown Ottawa in one of the hip fun neighbourhoods - Hintonburg. Our house is a duplex and we rent out the other unit. However, we also have a guest room that we would love to have guests from other parts of the world use on occasion.
  We are a pretty busy household, doing lots of community building and activism to make our neighbourhood a better place to live. We like meeting other people with similar interests.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Are are an anglophone household with a bit of french language skills. There are two adults and one 11yr old in our home. We are pretty busy folks with lots going on so while we'd connect with you somewhat, you'd have a lot of time to yourself to engage with the community and city. (We live right downtown within a 5min walk from the OTrain.)
  We do a lot of folk dancing and have gatherings at our place including occasional house concerts, trad dance, parties, games nights, and more.

  Ayuda

  Given that we're a pretty busy family, we'd be looking for help either with things like cooking/kitchen support, maybe a bit of cleaning and/or supporting my husband with house projects. (He knows how to do all the work but having a second pair of hands to work with him would make projects go faster.)
  We're also interested in improving our French skills so if you are a first-language French speaker, sharing your conversational skills in French could be part of the exchange. Our kiddo is also very interested in Japanese food and culture so that could be part of an exchange too.

  Este anfitrión ofrece intercambio de idiomas
  We speak English so could support someone working on their English skills. While we are happy to host folks from anywhere, it would be particularly fun for us to host folks from a French language background (for us to learn more French) or from Japan (our kiddo is interested in Japanese).

  Alojamiento

  We have a one bedroom room with a double bed and a closet. There is also a separate bathroom right beside the bedroom that the guest has access to. (We use a different bathroom for morning/evening activities but throughout the day use the bathroom near the guestroom.)
  In terms of food - we are hoping that as part of your workaway hours, you might help or lead meal preparation. We are happy to discuss this with you and we can do it in some instances - it's just that we see meal prep as a main way to exchange work for stay. Either way, we will have groceries and a fully working kitchen on hand. :)
