Help me recover while experiencing local life in Quilmes, ARG
The experience
Hi! I'm Noemí, a 60-year-old librarian living in Quilmes, just 45 minutes from Buenos Aires. You'll stay in a private guest area, so you'll have your own space while sharing everyday life with me. I love books, films, dancing, and cultural exchange. At the moment I need a little extra help with light household tasks while I recover from a wrist injury. No hard work - just everyday help. I'm patient with Spanish learners and want to share my culture

I have a "kincho" at the back of my house, which is now set up as a separate house or cabin. It has two beds, an equipped kitchen, a refrigerator, and I have WiFi. There's a private bathroom, and I provide sheets, towels, and blankets. Additionally, there’s a garden where my two dogs and a turtle live.
