Description
Hello! I'm Gaby. I live in a hand built wooden house in a pretty village at the foot of the medieval white hilltop town of Vejer. On the land I have various fruit trees including avocados, oranges, lemons, mangos, chirimoyas, guabas, feijoas, pomegranates... a little vegetable garden, lots of flower beds, 10 old hens, a daft dog and a cuddly cat. I usually spend mornings in the garden and afternoons working on my art.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can offer guests a taste of life in southern Spain: gazpacho, siestas and cañas. There are many things to see and do near by: beautiful beaches to swim at, pretty towns to explore, nice hikes to go on... We can talk in either English or Spanish and hopefully cook together. I have a bike, an inflatable canoe and a surf board you can borrow.
Help
I'm looking for people to help in the garden and around the land. Specific jobs might include: weeding, planting, watering, strimming, pruning, clearing, digging... There's always something to do, plants don't seem to want to stop growing!
I've learnt I'm not so good at being too on top of people, so self-reliant and motivated folk are much appreciated.

Accommodation
If its free you can stay in your own little house with its own kitchen, bathroom and a sweet bed nestled in the tree tops. If not you can stay in the spare room in my house. So long as I'm home I thought we could share lunch and dinner as well as many cups of tea.
What else ...
Public transport around here is a bit lousy, but if you don't come in your own vehicle I can of course pick you up from wherever and do my best to take you to the places you would like to go to. I also have a bike you can borrow and if you are over 25 maybe I can lend you my car from time to time.
I keep myself busy, but will do my best to include you in as much of my social life as you are interested in. This could include dancing, rock climbing, hiking, going for a drink.
