  Description

  Hello from sunny Asturias, where the sun always shines more then the forecast tells you. We are Sanne (29) and Joachim (29) and have been living here for 4 years. We're both dutch and just bought an old farm that we started renovating november last year.
  
  Sanne is a photographer and Joachim is a pianist, together we have the dream to live in our own build farm where our creative senses stay stimulated. We are very social people, but we like to live a simple life with enough tranquility. We didn't start this project to finish soon but we like to work hard and enjoy even harder every small result.
  
  This summer we'll start renovating and need help with handy hands. If you feel more suited for gardening work and like to cook delicious meals this could also be a fit.
  
  You are most welcome to come and stay with us and share our life and dreams for a while. We would also love to hear about your dreams, ideas and experiences. We have a lot of experience with community living and will do our best to make you feel at home as well. Besides that we love animals so your furry friends will be welcome.
  
  We hope this gives you an idea about our life! Please reach out if you have any question and we hope to see you soon!

  You'll get to experience the rural life of Asturias. You will learn about and contribute to gardening, traditional construction work, wood- and natural stone work, living partly together on an old farm etc.
  
  We're going to a private spanish teacher every week in Villaviciosa and you're welcome to join us! We'll also introduce you to our friends and neighbours to get a good sense of the life we're living.
  
  Be careful that you don't fall in love too much with the environment!

  Hébergement

  Right now we can offer you a private two person caravan with a small kitchen when needed, we'll share the communal house, garden, bonfires, further facilities and good times. Mention that all is work in progress, everything is very basic at this moment. There's also an option to bring your own campervan since there is plenty of space.
  
  *Food*
  We'll be eating lots of vegtables, mostly vegetarian but sometimes fish and meat. Organic as much as possible, but that is mostly a budgetary question for now. Please let us know if you have dietary needs, we're flexible.
  
  We will cook a healthy and warm lunch together every workday, and we will make sure you'll have enough ingredients to make breakfast and dinner yourself.
