Description
We are now booked until September. Please reach out should you are looking for a workaway experience from September on (most probably our last year with the current language exchange for kids goal).
News for this 2024-2025 year...hey there! we are relaunching the year with new energetic spirits and would like to welcome open, warm and friendly people from all over the world that can help Gael and Alex use English in the normal day to day life. Also French is welcomed. This year we will mainly continue with our bicycle rides, skating city tours, painting and writing stuff, Muay Thai training and probably boost a bit on chess, sailing and some other hobbies :D....
An extra update: if you are into Muay Thai and would like to share your knowledge of this art we would definitely love that exchange as well :)
Hi there,
We are a family living close to Alicante in a town called Santa Pola. We are Quino, Alex (9) and Gael (almost 8 :D). We are currently looking for a language and intercultural exchange in English preferentially or French (or both).
In brief, we are quite creative, active, outdoors and nature keen family so we tend to always be busy doing related things (bike tours, painting, hiking, skating, weird exhibitions wondering, paddle surfing or swimming) but also staying at home watching a good film (normally always OV - even in Japanese :s! as we still found no good add on to our media center) or playing at some games in our retropie emulator.
Me (Quino) I run several ventures at a time including a consultancy business on human rights related topics and a eco-ethnic social tourism initiative with destinations and activities in the region (not that much lately but I would love to relaunch it a bit). I am not currently looking for help in these areas but if you are interested and I got a project in the pipeline it may be possible to look at it.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We offer a stay with a Spanish family in a wonderful area on the top of a mountain with views 2 min away to the Mediterranean sea and a wild beach down the hill.
For those with the interest and if the chance comes I can show you as well some insights into the human rights consultancy business and/or the tourism initiative.

Aide
I currently would like someone to help the kids immerse in English (1st) or French (2nd) language and culture from a playful approach ...I am interested only in very self-reliant people taking care of themselves and also helping out with daily chores (similar to a flat mate arrangement). If you are interested in improving your Spanish that can happen when the kids are not around (50% of the time). There are also Spanish classes available in the public library at a very reasonable price.
In addition and if you are good with QGIS, Photosop-illustrator, statistics, or machine learning I would love to sit down and exchange, learn and share...and even maybe collaborate in some projects if there is the chance (day rate included in that case).
We are also very keen on DIY projects and have always something to do around including paintings, raspberry pi, furniture design, etc., so we would very welcome creative souls around.
I would never ask for more than 20 hours a week on the kiddos related tasks so you will have plenty of time to discover the region as well.
I am specially interested in the cultural exchange so on top of receiving someone with the skills and willing to work one of the main aims is to have someone active, open, curious and autonomous.

Langues parlées
Anglais: Courant
Espagnol: Courant
Français: Courant
Catalan: IntermédiaireCet hôte propose un échange linguistique
I am interested in Alex and Gael getting used to hear other languages (prefereably English, French second option, are our priorities). You would speak with them in your language while playing with an active approach based on repetition and correction in both a structured (homework, reading, etc.) and unstructured approach. Also, it is possible that I have some DIY projects when you come (creative alike - painting tiles, or construction alike: painting fences, setting up a wood stove, etc.). You will be invited to join should you are keen in this type of things.
Hébergement
Your will have your own independent room. You will use as well your own toilette (shower is common though) and we will all share the kitchen, the garden the dinning room, etc.
Autres infos...
We can spare one bike to discover the place on your own (there are plenty of routes nearby including our mountain, wetlands, beaches, etc.).We have also just bought a second paddle surf so we might as well paddle together (it's very easy and fun). Be aware nearest cities are Alicante and Elche both reachable only by bus or car (but public transportation is not that good though). We live quite close to Alicante international airport.

It was my first time doing workaway with Quino, Alex and Gael and I couldn't have had a better host. Alex and Gael are fun, energetic and super lovable. I enjoyed our English (and Spanish) sessions as well as playing with them. Quino is the perfect host. He invited me along to his sports sessions and happily answered… read more
