  Description

  I am a single mom with a 12 year old son living at the foot of the sierra in Collado Villalba. I purchased a home this past February in a quiet area surrounded by nature and all of the hiking one could dream of. It's a two story chalet with a moderately sized garden, complete with fruit trees and flowers. I am slowly but surely renovating, painting and putting lots of love into the property, but it is a lot of work for one person. I'm in need of some helping hands!

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  I love learning languages! I am a native English speaker and after years of living in Spain, my son and I are fluent in Spanish. We speak a mix of both languages at home. I am currently exploring French and Italian with Duolingo but of course I can only say a few phrases so far.
