  Description

  The house is very well connected with the city of Madrid, and also with interesting places like El Escorial or amazing hikes in the mountains.
  
  I have a 7 year old son who spends every morning during week days in a Waldorf school nearby.
  
  The house is independent, plenty of natural light, sustainable -built connected with the passivhouse philosophy-, and it has a work studio, where I train and work.
  
  There is an independent loft for visitors.
  
  We eat healthy (mostly organic) food, and we cook almost everything at home.
  We go for walks in the surroundings. Nature is right there, a few minutes away.
  
  I speak to my son in English; with his father we speak in Spanish.
  
  It would be great to have a native English speaker-or somebody who can speak English/Russian (*)- living with us to help with the house and to be with my son when I have to work.
  
  Languages would be great, although not indispensable.
  Do not hesitate to contact, if you think this is the place for you.
  *Russian is my grandparents language. My son does not speak it.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  CALM, SILENCE, NATURE, We live very near a forest of holm oaks and pine trees. At home we like to eat healthy and delicious. We belong to a consumer group in the area, which provides organic products.
  
  LANGUAGES I speak with my son in English.
  My mother is Russian but, unfortunately, since the pandemic started, Russian language is not very frequently heard at home.
  Nevertheless, several languages are heard at home.
  
  SPACE We have plenty of space, to share, and also to coexist with independence and silence. There are outside and inside patios in the house, a salt water swimming pool a few minutes away walking distance (during Summertime).
  
  
  CALMA, SILENCIO, NATURALEZA,
  Vivimos rodeados de bosque de encinas y pinos.
  En casa nos gusta comer sano y rico. Pertenecemos a un grupo de consumo de la zona, de productos ecológicos.

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  En casa hablamos inglés (la mamá) y castellano (el papá) con nuestro hijo. We speak in English and Spanish at home with my almost 7 year old son. We use Russian with my mother (grandmother), although this happens rarely nowadays because during the pandemic times we were not in touch. It would be wonderful to have a native English (or Russian speaker) living with us temporarily. Although this is not indispensable.
