  Descrição

  NOTE: my profile was used previously for when we lived in Mexico, so you may see comments and photos related to that from others on here).
  
  ABOUT US:
  
  I'm Rachel - a 45 year old British American writer working as a content manager for a whisky distillery. I traveled all over in my 20s and 30s. My last 10 years before moving to Scotland were in Mexico where I opened a mezcal bar and wrote a Mexican cookbook (the story/philosophy/travel bit - not the recipes). I love meeting new people, deep-diving into philosophical subjects, and walking in nature. I'm easy-going, welcoming, and a bit goofy when in a good mood. I like to take my time in the morning with a cup of tea and a meditation or stretch - when I manage to get out of bed early enough to fit it in. We eat healthy, no real dietary restrictions, but happy to accommodate - and learn from you!
  
  Lila is 8, very creative, happy, loves to dance and make art, play outside, swim...all the usual kid stuff. She's pretty independent, very strong and intelligent, but also very sweet and loves to play with others. Our house is a simple home with a good vibe and good wifi.
  
  WHERE WE LIVE:
  We live in a small village called Boat of Garten, about 40 minutes south of Inverness. There's 1 pub, a steam train, the public bus, a mini-market, and loads of trails to walk just outside our door. It's a gorgeous, quiet village with beautiful houses, and a 10 minute drive/bus to Aviemore with bigger shops and restaurants. We're right in the middle of the Cairngorms National Park, so if hiking, mountainbiking, or watersports are your thing, you'll be covered. I honestly think we live in the most beautiful place in the world - though on endless rainy days it's a little harder to feel that!
  There's not much for nightlife or entertainment that's not outdoor-based, but Inverness has pubs and clubs, so you can always go there. You can also take a train south to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and beyond from Aviemore.
  
  I'm excited to host other travellers who like to engage in conversation over a coffee or a meal and share ideas. Any questions - fire away!
  
  Please include the word RAINBOW in the title of your message to let me know you've read all of this. (It's the name of our cat, btw).
  
  Happy travels!

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  I've spent years moving and working around the world, and have loads of stories to share. I loves to talk about philosophy, travel, our growth as humans, potentials for living in community, how we might fix a broken system(s)...
  
  I was raised in the US, spent years moving around the world; my last 10 years were in Mexico where I ran a restaurant and mezcal bar before moving to Scotland last year. I now work for a whisky distillery!
  
  Lila is Mexican-born, super fun and witty, and pretty well-travelled herself!

  Ajuda

  Help is mostly needed participating in the house: cooking, tidying, being an active part of the household, childcare. Dog walks are also appreciated and pet sitting is needed from time to time. Would be very happy to host a native Spanish speaker to help Lila with her Spanish and/or someone with experience in primary education.

  We are fluent in English and Spanish. I'd be happy if someone was a fluent Spanish speaker and could practice with Lila, as I sadly, rarely do. (As a single mum, I can't tick all the boxes!).

  Acomodação

  We have a 3 bed, 1 shared bath cottage and a small garden. You'd have your own room.
