  Description

  Hola! I am Cristina (49) and we are a family of three along with my two kids, Abril (12) and Marc (8).
  
  We are new here and we are very interested in sharing our life, our home and our culture with a woman in exchange for a constant English language immersion with my kids and cooperation at home.
  
  We live 4kms away from Sitges, in the beautiful village of Sant Pere de Ribes, a safe and charming place surrounded by vineyards. Full services by walking distance from our house.
  
  We are very well connected to Sitges and Barcelona through a bus service and trainlines available all day.
  
  My kids are home with me every other week , since they stay at their dad's for some time, too. However, the three of us are very close, so even if they stay at their dad's they're home with me a few days a week, too.
  
  Sant Pere de Ribes is a lovely village with many cafés and bar terraces and the daily chance to enjoy the sunny weather on them while having an ice cream, a coffee or a good book. Sitges is a very charming tourist village to which we are connected by bus or by a 15min bike ride .

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are a laid back Catalan family with local habits as far as schedules, free-time activities and cultural preferences. We cook on a daily basis and we live on seasonal, traditional homemade Catalan/Spanish cooking,cinema and sharing many moments with close friends. We try to enjoy slow life/local way of living, with the occasional getaways when we get the chance.
  
  My kids are eager to learn English so we ask for full English communication in return. We are not offering a Spanish language exchange since our interest is being fully immersed in English with the workawayer. Plus, the language spoken at home is not Spanish but Catalan, our mother tongue and language of the region. Please, no native Spanish-speaking workawayers.
  
  We live in a safe village, 150m away from a sports center with gym, indoors and outdoors swimming pools and green spaces with facilities for calistenia. Plenty of paths for hiking and biking too starting from our own street.
  
  The village we live in has many cultural festivities throughout the year, a great change to live the culture and interact with locals.
  
  Mild winters with sunny days all year round.
