Hospitality and Language exchange in Tarifa – Hi everyone, My name is Rober and I am a lover of sports, the sea, the mountains, meditation, nature in general and life in freedom. Recently I rented a space with a mobile home, caravan and tend, 200 meters from one of the best beaches in Spain, in Tarifa, Cรกdiz, called Playa de Valdevaqueros. Tarifa is the European capital of the wind.
I am almost 32 years old and I have a very quiet life. More than 2 years ago I left my comfortable life in a company as IT and now I’m going in my own way, although it is not being easy it is very enriching.

Hi Rober!
I appreciate you have said you can accept only one volunteer but I’m hoping I can throw in a bit of a curve ball that you may consider! We’re a couple travelling in our campervan with our very friendly dog, so we already have our own accommodation and would just need somewhere to park with access to electricity. We’re native speakers and would love the opportunity to help teach you English in return for us learning some Spanish. We’d also LOVE to have a go at kitesurfing!
We’re more than happy to help you with cleaning and cooking and whatever else is generally required ๐
We were in Tarifa a couple of days ago and loved the vibe of the place, we’re now just over an hour away in Barbate so not too far ๐ we’re laid back and free for any duration as we plan to travel for at least a year.
Hope to hear from you!
