  Descrição

  We are Rosa and Ben, a Spanish-French couple. Rosa is originally from Almería and Ben is French. After living in different places around the world, we ended up settling in Almería, where we fell in love with an old house in the city centre and decided to give it a second life!
  
  The house was built in 1898 and had been closed for more than 30 years when we first opened its doors. It was full of old furniture, forgotten belongings and little vintage treasures waiting to be discovered.
  
  We fell in love with its original features and traditional Andalusian character. Unfortunately, many old buildings in Almería are being demolished to make way for new flats, so we wanted to do our bit to preserve this little piece of history.
  
  We've been slowly bringing the house back to life. We've done a lot ourselves, although we've also hired professionals for specialist work such as electricity and plumbing. We're now getting to the fun part: furnishing, decorating and adding the final touches!
  
  Our idea is to create a small, characterful house where we will also live and welcome people from all over the world.
  
  We'd love to share this experience with easygoing, creative and curious people who enjoy meeting others, exchanging languages and discovering different cultures. We love cooking, vintage finds, interior design and photography, and we're always happy to exchange ideas and learn new things.
  
  We also have two dogs, Lucy and Dalí, who are very much part of the family and will be sharing the house with us!
  
  We speak Spanish, English and French. Rosa would particularly love to improve her spoken French!

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Staying here is a chance to experience life in Almería and discover a different side of Spain.
  
  You can practise languages, learn about Spanish food, traditions and history, and discover the local way of life. We're also happy to share what we know about old houses, decoration, DIY, vintage furniture, art and crafts.
  
  There's plenty to explore around here too: beaches, hiking routes, local markets, tapas bars, historic places and local artists.
  
  And of course, we'd love to learn from you as well! Your language, culture, recipes, ideas, skills and experiences are all part of what makes this exchange interesting.

  Ajuda

  We are looking for friendly, curious and proactive people who would enjoy sharing everyday life with us and becoming part of the experience.
  
  It is a creative project inspired by our love of old houses, vintage furniture, art and interior design. We'd love to meet people from different backgrounds, exchange ideas and learn new things from each other.
  
  Depending on your interests, there are different ways you could get involved:
  
  - Creative projects: Upcycling vintage furniture, decorating, styling and finding new uses for old objects.
  - Organising: Sorting through our vintage finds and helping us organise the different spaces in the house.
  - Gardening: Looking after plants and making our outdoor spaces more welcoming.
  - Cooking:Preparing meals together, sharing recipes and discovering food from different countries.
  - Photography and creativity: Sharing ideas about photography, video, art and design, or help us documenting the journey.
  - Everyday life: Sharing some of the usual tasks involved in keeping a home running smoothly.
  
  We also enjoy exchanging languages, discovering local culture and exploring Almería when our schedules allow.
  
  We both have our own work and routines, so we're looking for people who are happy to take initiative, contribute to a shared home and also enjoy exploring independently. No professional experience is needed, just a positive attitude and a genuine interest in cultural exchange.
  
  Above all, we'd like it to be a place where people from different backgrounds can share experiences, learn from each other and feel at home.

  Este anfitrião oferece intercâmbio de idiomas
  We speak both English and Spanish at home. Rosa is a native Spanish speaker, while Ben is French. We'd love to practise languages with our volunteers and help them improve their Spanish or English through everyday conversations. We can also introduce you to some French! Rosa understands French quite well but would love to become more confident speaking it, so if you're a French speaker, that would be a great opportunity for a language exchange. We believe the best way to learn a language is by using it naturally, sharing meals, having conversations and spending time together. No formal lessons, just a relaxed and friendly exchange!
