Description
We are a Spanish-German family who have lived in Menorca for about three years, in a beautiful country house with 5 cats, 5 fishes, one dog and 4 chickens. We have a small family garden and many different tasks to do. We have previously lived in Madrid and Munich. We are dedicated to photography and coaching. We have come to this island because it seems like a magical place to educate our 12-years-old daughter, because of the calm that is breathed even in the summer months. Menorca is a magical island, a biosphere reserve for more than 20 years, with a deep and sincere respect for nature. The island is full of wonderful landscapes and archaeological remains of the Talayotic culture. An ideal place for people who seek above all, calm.

We require five hours of daily help Monday through Friday. Volunteers can have the rest of time, as they want. We live in a country area, 30/40 min. by bike from Ciutadella de Menorca, a beautiful historic city that amazes anyone for the beauty of its houses, streets and shops. The area where we live is 20/30 minutes by bike from the nearest beach. The house is surrounded by an exuberant natural environment of great beauty. We provide volunteers with a bicycle to travel. We offer the possibility that in free time, they can accompany us on the trips that we will be doing around the island to take photos. Our daily routine usually consists from Monday to Friday of getting up at 7.30 in the morning. Our daughter has breakfast first and we take her to school and then we have breakfast at 9am. We work sometimes at home and sometimes outside. We don't have a routine. About 3pm. We eat and in the afternoon we focus on our daughter's chores and activities while continuing to work. On weekends, sometimes we receive people at home for lunch and dinner, others go on family excursions and others we rest quietly and do nothing.
Requerimos cinco horas de trabajo diario de lunes a viernes. Los voluntarios pueden disponer del resto de tiempo, según quieran. Vivimos en una zona de campo, a 30/40 min. en bici de Ciutadella de Menorca, una preciosa ciudad histórica que maravilla a cualquiera por la belleza de sus casas, calles y tiendas. La zona donde vivimos está a 20 minutos en bici de la playa más cercana. La casa está rodeada de un entorno natural exuberante de gran belleza. Ponemos a disposición de los voluntarios una bicicleta para los desplazamientos.
Nuestra rutina diaria suele consistir de lunes a viernes en levantarnos a las 7.30 de la mañana. Desayuna nuestra hija primero y la llevamos al colegio y luego desayunamos nosotros a las 9h. Trabajamos a veces en casa y a veces fuera. No tenemos una rutina. Sobre las 15h. comemos y por la tarde nos centramos en las tareas y actividades de nuestra hija a la vez que seguimos trabajando. Los fines de semana a veces recibimos gente en casa para comidas y cenas, otros hacemos excursiones en familia y otros nos quedamos tranquilamente descansando sin hacer nada.A little more information
