Description
Our family language is German, but we also speak Spanish and English.
Our main proyect is currently the refurbishment of an old Galician farm house. Apart from that we love our big garden, where we've been planting eagerly in the past two years. We'd like to open our place up to people, who are curious about the country, the experience of living in nature and who have energy to give us a hand on our land in order to make our everyday-life a bit smoother and more joyful.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The Galician coast offers plenty of secret beaches, natural parks, sights and natural secrets to explore. We live 5min from Ortigueira, where you find shops, nice cafés, restaurants and a weekly market. Alongside the coast you reach Viveiro within 30min and A Coruña, which is a big city, within an hour. The Mañón area in the mountains is full of ruins and celtic myths. At the Rio Sor you can go canoeing, go for a swim or visit old water mills. In general it is very handy to have an own car to explore the beautiful surroundings here. Now and then we can also share a ride if our schedules and plans match :).

Help
We are looking for someone to happily share our everyday life and mainly give us a hand with gardening, cooking and household chores. As we have to kids, one at the age of 6 and a tiny one with 8 months, it is important that you have a big heart for kids and enjoy having them around and maybe also like to spend now and then some time with them. Moreover, we are currently refurbishing an old Galician farm house on our property, so if you are interested in building and construction with natural materials, we are happy to show and share practical knowledge.

Accommodation
We have space for your campervan or tent on our place. Also we have a nice fire engine with bed and kitchenette where you could sleep in. You are welcome to use our shower, compost toilet and outdoor kitchen. We will buy food and would be happy if you cook at midday so that we can enjoy lunch together. Other mealtimes will be organized independently. Close to our place there is a spring where we get fresh drinkable water.
What else ...
In your freetime you can go to the nearby beaches such as Morouzos, Espasante or Esteiro beach. There are several other beaches within 5 to 20 min drive. Ortigueira is always worth a trip on Thursday when there's market's day. At the Rio Sor, which is more inland, you can visit waterfalls, old water mills and ruins alongside the river. If you feel comfortable at ours, which we hope, you can also relax here at ours in the hammock or go for nice walks into the woods.
Our day starts at around 8 o'clock and days in summer time (we have long summer holiday here in Spain) is mostly structured by our two kids.
