    Description

    I have the privilege be guardian of a piece of the Mariola mountains in Muro de Alcoy.

    It contains many stone terraces with about 200 olive trees and some fruit trees around.

    The jobs include:
    Soil regeneration through making bikashi, adding organic matter, mricoorganisms, etc.
    Pruning and crushing it to give it back to the soil.
    Water management, as the house only counts on rainwater.
    Construction, as there is a small hut that can be transformed into an independent cottage.
    To cut wood from pines or manage firewood from the olive pruning... moving the wood from here to there...
    Planting trees, seeding, vegetables, etc.
    There is also a possibility for babysitting, as I am mother of 3 (11, 9 and 3 years old), so I can be more free to do myself the tasks above.

    I am looking forward to hearing from you an see how our energies flow.

    I speak Spanish, Swedish, English, French and would be happy if you share your language with my daughters.

    I love dancing, Kundalini yoga, and the sense of humor!!

    See you soon!

    Amanda, Lluna Laia, Mei
