  Description

  ============
  - Our availability now is from mid MAY til at least JULY. Cooking and gardening are priorities. That you have read the profile and your message is not a copy and paste is also considered.
  ============
  
  SEVERAL IMPORTANT POINTS THAT WE WOULD APPRECIATE BEFORE YOU WRITE TO US:
  -We only accept 1 person at this time.
  -This person must speak English, one of the priorities or "raison d'être" is linguistic.
  -At least for now, we are not interested in people staying less than two weeks.
  -The island is called Mallorca, not Palma, Palma is the capital- Although in the collective imagination, Mallorca is only a summer, beach, and party paradise, this is not the whole reality of our culture.
  -We are not looking for a "free worker" but a task and language exchange, but we are not a hotel either. (:D)
  
  Our description:
  
  We are a family with two amazing dogs and a cat. We have nice countryside and we aim to grow a garden (like we do every year), we also have some hens. Lorenzo, the father is a musician (trumpet) and a computer developer, and Justí is a cook (studied winery and Haute cuisine), BA in International Relations, and is currently studying an MA in Applied Philosophy, a postgraduate program in neurocommunication, and a BA in Humanities online; he also has the Spanish teacher ELE diploma.
  In this house we try to put into practice the principle of respect in all aspects of life: we don't care where you are from, your gender, your sexual preferences or any other personal matter. We take it for granted that this respect will be mutual.
  BTW, we are "flexivegeterians" for climate reasons, but we make some exceptions. We are interested in keeping our diet very healthy (not necessarily eating quinoa and goji, we cook local products).
  Bear in mind that Mallorca is an Island and that the primary spoken languages are Catalan and Spanish. (don't worry we speak English as well).
  Justí (31 years old) was once a workawayer in the USA, so he has already been on the other side and I am sure that with good communication and responsibility, everything can go better than well.
  We are especially concerned with biodiversity preservation, politics, activism, feminism, LGTBIQ rights, philosophy, mindfulness, and all the arts in general.
  For now, we ONLY WANT TO HOST 1 PERSON per period. We are sure that there are lovely couples and maybe later we will have more work and time for this possibility, but for the moment we do not.
  WE PREFER SOMEONE ABLE TO GARDENING AND COOKING.
