    Description

    *Currently we're looking for somone for a week in June who could give a presentation in English about their country to my students *

    For July or August we are looking for someone who is willing to help us with gardening and renovations.

    We are a family of four: Arnika (46), Szymon (46) and our two children Karolina (19) and Igor (16). We also have a joyful labrador. My husband is an engineer and I'm a project specialist and a teacher. We live in a fairly quiet city of Bydgoszcz in Poland. We are a fun-loving family with ample of different interests. We are avid travellers, love to learn about other cultures and meet interesting people. Our main goal is to learn languages.

    If you happen to be an English teacher or have an excellent command of English you are more than welcome here to help us with English.
    OR
    If you are a native speaker of Spanish we would love to start our adventure with Spanish ( we are learning it ourselves).

    I am engaged in some language activities with children learning English in two primary schools close to Bydgoszcz and would like you to make a short and simple presentation about your country and its culture for all my groups. You will also be expected to do some household chores, gardening and DIY project.

    We are not vegetarians but don't eat much meat. If you are a vegan we are happy to experiment with some vegan cooking and we are ready to become vegans for the period of your stay with us.

    There are two options of accommodation: you can live in our house (you will get your bedroom, a bathroom you will share with the children) or an independent apartment in the city centre.
