  Descripción

  Hello, my name is Jaume.
  I live in the countryside in a 15th-century house surrounded by nature on the outskirts of the village of Verges, in Baix Empordà - Costa Brava.
  My professional life has been as a Director of Photography in Audiovisuals, mainly in film.
  
  Right now, I am retired but I continue with personal projects. I'm looking for English-speaking people (English, American, Australian, or New Zealand) to help me practice English. The tasks are related to the maintenance of the house:
  - Garden
  - Basic repairs (painting...)
  
  I would also appreciate it if you have some knowledge of computers and IT, as I would like to learn and improve my skills.
  The work would be 4-5 hours a day from Monday to Friday.
  
  In exchange, I offer:
  - Individual room
  - Private bathroom
  - Traditional meals
  - Excursions around the Costa Brava, Barcelona, and Empordà.
  - And if you're interested, I can teach you Spanish.
  
  Ideally, stays of one month with the possibility of extending the stay."
  
  If you need anything else, feel free to ask!
