  Description

  We are a family of half Argentines, my husband Dante and I, and half Brazilian my sons Luca (22) and Malena (19). We live in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. What we like most in life is to know new cultures, to be travelers (and not tourists), and everything that this implies: the culinary, the music, the arts and the different way of life of the people outside world. Although we work / study a lot, we always make time for some homemade pizzas, call friends for dinner or watch a movie. We are very homemade. My husband works with genetic research, my children study (they are in the University now) and I teach Spanish. We all practice physical activity. We have already been to many places in Argentina , Europe, Estados Unidos and Brazil, we have already stayed in tents, hostel, family homes and hotels. We love everything

  My husband studies English once a week and uses it a lot in his job, my children speak it perfectly (although they don't live at home anymore as they are in the University), and I have started to study now but I spend the day speaking in Spanish and Portuguese. Therefore, we would like a person or a couple native in English and willing to live with us speaking only English, for 10 or 15 days. They could accompany us in our routine (flexible), dividing with us the house chores as well as the food preparation and take advantage of traveling around the country. Examples of distance: Rio de Janeiro 729 km (there are buses leaving the city at 9 pm and arriving in Rio at 7 am), São Paulo 328 km, nearest beach 421 km, Brasilia 698 km, Iguaçu Falls 980 km (there are buses leaving the city at 3 pm and arriving at the Falls at 6 am). All these destinations can be reached by bus, as well as by plane. The city and its surroundings already have attractive attractions such as the Coffee Museum, the house of the artist Portinari, in Jardinópolis, the Pinguin bar, the Thermas do Laranjais Park, in Olimpia, several waterfalls and parks, etc.
