    Beschreibung

    I´m an artist and dancer from Wales and I teach English in my little Academy in the nearby town. I have two daughters who are currently living in Wales. We fell in love with the island when we moved here seventeen years ago, and we really enjoy to share this with our visitors.
    We would love to have your help. The finca is isolated deep in the heart of Nature and is an eco house set in a Bio banana finca, perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the spectacular Barranco de las Angustias. It´s far from other houses and roads and light pollution and provides a spectacular and unrivalled view of the stars at night! The access is steep and you may have to walk 10-15 mins from the nearest carpark when you are not coming with me in my Jeep. So you need to be quite fit .
    Furthermore it is a great location to directly start hiking into the national park from here!

    As a workawayer here we have lots you can do - so say what you´re interested in and write before hand so we can find your best fit! If you´re involved in a big project, we can discuss how time is managed - differently to how it would be if you´re more part of the day to day running.
    Each day can be a bit different so if you´re comfortable with going with the flow and scheduling your free time around what needs to be done, then you will be a good fit here.
    We are relaxed and want you to have a lovely time and feel part of the family/team/Elfin tribe.!

    1. General help with creating the eco garden.

    3. Computers and internet: general help in dealing with the challenges of technology is always appreciated
    4.. Small building projects are always happening here too! We are making another open air sunset bed soon so need carpentry and string rock carrying help for the patio .
