Kitchen Helper for cultural exchange


The experience

I’m looking for a kitchen helper, but above all for someone interested in a true cultural and language exchange.
Sharing cultures, languages, and everyday life is the most important part of this experience.

I need help with cooking lunch and dinner, and on some days only lunch. The cooking is simple and home-style, with no pressure.

What really matters to me is a positive attitude, openness, and the desire to connect, talk, and share experience

Program Details

I’m looking for someone who loves cooking and cultural exchange above all.
This experience is primarily about sharing cultures, languages, and daily life, in a relaxed and respectful environment.

I’m searching for a person who is open-minded, positive, and happy to participate in a language and cultural exchange, sharing their own culture while learning from mine. Communication, curiosity, and human connection are the most important parts of this experience.

🥗 Main role

The main help required is in the kitchen:
• Preparing lunch and dinner on most days
• On some days, only lunch will be required

Cooking is meant to be simple and home-style, not professional. What matters is willingness, care, and enjoying the process.

🌍 What really matters

More than cooking, I value:
• Cultural and linguistic exchange
• Sharing meals, conversations, and everyday moments
• A calm, respectful, and positive atmosphere

This is not a job, but a shared experience, where helping in the kitchen goes hand in hand with meaningful cultural connection.
