  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am Julia. I moved to Montseny forest in 2021 and have lived in the surroundings before. Initially I come from Berlin city and I now appreciate the luxury to live in nature. I am a German teacher and speak fluently Spanish, English and some French. I have been travelling a lot and was helping out in several workaway projects during the last years to get to know how to live in nature and learn some permaculture gardening which I haven´t adapted to my garden yet. I am happy to exchange my experiences in languages, cooking, gardening, life..
  We share this wonderful place with a mountain view with my dog and just a few neighbours.

  Help

  Currently I need help with painting my house. Besides there are always things to do in the garden. If somebody has knowledge about watering systems and how to store water for dry periods and maintaining the garden, that would be great, as there is an existing system that wants to be given a wake-up kiss. I have a big property to do everything by myself. Most of it is forest, even more difficult to cultivate a garden here.

  Accommodation

  you will have your own room and a shared bathroom, kitchen and living room will be shared as well. Food can be shared, we weekly order a vegetable basket from a gardener close by, besides it´s nice to cook together. I´d prefer people not to cook meat as I am a vegetarian, but anything else is no problem.

  What else ...

  The Montseny area is a wonderful place to explore nature, mountains, rivers, lakes, with a lot of trakking paths just outside the house. There is the village of Montseny with a beautiful view to enjoy with a coffee or tipical catalan food.
