Description
We are a family from Barcelona.We would like to find a GIRL to spend time practising English with us. My daughter is 16 and my son is 11. They love English and they need to improve their English conversational skills with an English NATIVE speaker.
They love sports, dancing and singing, too. We have had several workawayers at home and it has been an exciting and beautiful experience. We would like to have new experiences and get to know people from other English speaking countries.
I am a teacher in a primary school so I can offer the workawayer the opportunity to know how the Spanish educational system works.
We love travelling and show our guests our beautiful city.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Silvia.

I can’t begin to describe how incredible my experience was as a Workawayer with this family! Everything the other reviews have said are true—they are such a welcoming, kind, and fun family and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend a few months living with them. Silvia and Santi always made sure that I had everything I need, and… read more

This experience was INCREDIBLE!
Silvia, Santi, Oihane and Yago are the most beautiful family on the inside and out.
I spent the past month (not enough time) living with this gorgeous family, and wish I had more time and didn't have to return home to Australia.
I loved every second of my experience and was so grateful for everything provided.

My time with Silvia,Santi,Oihane and Yago was amazing. They are the most kind and generous family, and made my time in Spain unforgettable. They are willing to help you with anything, and Silvia even spent time on her birthday calling the authorities to get me some advice when I had some issues related to covid-19!
I worked with them for about 6… read more

I stayed with this family from September to December last year and was so lucky to have them as my first Workaway! I was very nervous about living in a different Country for the first time and was not entirely sure what to expect. However from the beginning right through to the end of my stay, Silvia and Santi always made me feel comfortable in… read more

With Amy and Mackenzie we had a new and exciting experience! My kids had a great time and they played together for hours and hours. I had really interesting conversations with Amy, too!
They are very nice people and we hope to be in touch with them in the future.

Being asked to leave feedback for Silvia, Santi, Oihane, and Yago is like being asked to leave feedback for your family or good friends. Because that is what this family of four became to my 13-year-old daughter, MacKenzie, and me during our month-long stay: our Spanish family and good friends. I feel incredibly fortunate that Silvia responded to… read more

As a first time "Workawayer",I was unsure what to expect from my experience. When I connected with Silvia on the platform, she was instantly welcoming. This welcoming energy was only the beginning of what I can only describe as a once in a life time experience. Silvia, her hatband Santi and their beautiful children Oihaine an Yago welcomed me at… read more the airport and for the next month I was part of their family.

My room perfect and so comfortable. They provided me with everything I ever needed and more and even bought me my favorite food items. Their home was so family orientated as we sat each night around the table eating delicious and authentic meals. Santi and Silvia prepared family meals each night and this experience was one of my highlights. I loved sitting around the table and interacting with them. I observed their culture, likes and ways of living. It was something that can never be replicated, this was so natural and something that I shall be forever grateful for experiencing.

I was with the Kids Monday to Friday and had my weekends free to explore. I had enough time off during the day to partake in different actives in the local area.I had the best of both worlds really; more than enough time to myself while also having plenty of interaction with the family. Their town is super safe and has all the amenities you could want! In total I would say that Silvia is super fair and extremely accommodating. She is very supportive and will guide you in how to give your best to the kids. She will become a great friend to you. Santi is one of the most kind hearted people I have ever met. Even though he does not speak English, he was always looking out for me and making sure I had everything I needed. He made me feel so at home and relaxed.

I had the absolute pleasure of playing and learning with Oihane and Yago. When I say pleasure, I cannot emphasize this enough. The kids are just a delight to be around and made each day a memorable experience for me. When I was with Yago we played so many games. He was always ready to have fun and loved introducing me to his many likes such as Pokemon, basketball and Go Fish :)
Oihane, with her multitude of talents, became one of my closest companions in Barcelona. She is wise beyond her years and forever looking for her next creative project. We did art and crafts, dancing, reading and played a lot of games also. She minded me more than I minded her :)
I feel that I really bonded with the kids and,and as cliche as it sounds, I truly mean that I learned more from them then they did from me. They are not only great kids but also possess the most beautiful souls.

I CANNOT recommend Silvia and her family more to anyone! Whether you are very outgoing, or shy but friendly, you will belong with this family. They are extremely flexible, considerate, caring, generous and kind. If you chose to stay with them, I can guarantee you a safe space where you will grow as a person and build a relationship with their family that will last far beyond your time in Barcelona.

So if you are even considering a Workaway in Barcelona, this family should be top of your list!!!

Absolutely loved! As a first workaway experience, this family made the transition so smooth and easy. I quickly slipped into their family and was accepted immediately. On day one, the whole family picked me up from the airport with a sign. The schedule was straight forward and flexible, yet the experiences were varied and dynamic. In my… read more

What a beautiful family! Silvia and Santi were so accommodating and wonderful, and Oihani and Yago are truly awesome kids. I had a great time hanging out with all of them and helping with their English, and getting help on my Spanish in return!

I really hope our paths will cross again either in Barcelona or elsewhere!

This being my first work away experience, I felt anxious and nerve-wracked before arriving. However, from the moment they yelled my name out in the airport terminal I knew, these were my people and they have been ever since. Silvia and Santí are both kind, welcoming, and generous in every way I could have ever imagined, Oihane is bright and… read more
