After spending about 7 months in the old continent, I just want to thank bsue07. During this time he allowed me to stay in his home twice and set up a room just for me. He quickly realized I was a shy cook, so he didn't hesitate for a second to take on that task while I divided my time between my own work and diy. He's a little bit shy, but he enjoys the company of someone else (I am shy too, but we get along well), someone who pushes him to continue making reality the ideas he already has in mind for his home... I know there's still work to be done, and I'm excited for watch the final result. It was only 3 weeks, but we did many things. We hiked a lot, he took me to some very interesting places in the region, and he showed me the real England (I loved it). He's a very good teacher, and I owe him several tips and insights on how to use English. This really was a success story, if he ever comes to Colombia, he knows he'll be welcome.

It is really overwhelming to read these comments, well, it is better to be cautious and have some guidelines that allow us to err less. However, there is something I did not expect and it seems horrible to me, probably because it directly touches the position I assume on this site, that is, that of houseboy. I was robbed by a guy in my city, and the truth is more what he lost by stealing from me than what I lost in money, (it may sound ridiculous) but he lost the possibility of keeping in touch with a nice person, and in fact this guy returned asking for forgiveness, but pitifully trust and empathy are fundamental, and there wasn't the first one and therefore neither the second one. An untrustworthy houseboy is disappointing, but reading that there are employers who can invite a houseboy to their homes and then drifting... it seems really low. It should not happen to either of them, but usually a houseboy is in a position of greater need than an employer, so in case of a hoax the houseboy may be in a situation of greater vulnerability and that makes that scam so low. Okay, what else to say, thanks for the tips.
