Description

Hi my name is Mark, I have walked two Caminos and enjoyed meeting and experiencing new people and villages in Spain. My wife and I decided to live in France for a while so we could immerse ourselves in the village life. Our trip has enabled us to visit many areas of France and Spain and look forward to a new adventure. I have a mechanical background and enjoy building and maintenance work around the house.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
Mark -because I have walked two Caminos, I started to learn Spanish and have an interest in improving and being able to speak more fluently. As we have been living in France, I have started to pick up some basic French. Angela - I too walked the Caminos with Mark and tried to learn some Spanish, but as we were headed to France for 12 months, I put a lot of my effort into learning French. I am still at the early beginner stage but would love to become more fluent. We are both happy to teach English or enable people to practice their pronunciation, etc
