Your experience abroad with us: local life, music, and languages
The experience
Hi! We are Alba and Alejandro, a 24-year-old couple.
We live in an apartment in Valladolid together with our two cats who are very affectionate and friendly 🐱
Although we both work, we really enjoy exploring new things, outside and inside the city. We love music; it’s one of our biggest hobbies; we both play instruments and we really enjoy going to concerts. We would like to improve our languages and meet new people.

Program Details
During the time you are with us, you will not only be part of our family, but we would like us to become great friends and do many things together while you get to know Spain and its culture!
Come with our friends, explore different cities, fun getaways, time at home with dinners and board games, afternoons as a family...
Also, in our city there are universities, so you can meet people who come from Erasmus or who engage in intercultural activities if you want to live your own experiences.
We would like to improve our languages (English, French and Portuguese) and meet new people.
Sharing experiences and languages for us is fascinating!

Activities & Shift
We work in the mornings, so we have set schedules.
Sometimes we also go together to work at a big restaurant, so if you want to earn some extra money for yourself and learn the language, you can come with us as part of your experience :) completely optional!!!!
Rules
As part of our family, you will have to help with the household chores and take care of the house. The tasks are simple but essential for good coexistence.
Keep in mind that our home is not a simple accommodation; your experience with us will be fully integrated, as if you were part of our family and our circle of friends, although obviously you will have time for yourself.
Also, we love languages, so we would like you to teach us more about your mother tongue!!!
