    Description

    Hello Marcel and Miki here and you guessed it,
    We can use your help!

    Our new adventure started in july 2018 when we moved to the beautiful mountains of Catalunya where freedom is enchanting.

    We live totally off grid. We have two cats and in the "penthouse " we have our chickens.

    The nearest village is 6 km over a beautiful forest track.

    Our dream is to create an ecological permaculture Food forest.
    We are building with only natural and recycled materials .

    In the evenings it's fantastic to sit around the campfire, listening to music and watching the most spectacular sky of stars. We both ride motorbikes and Catalunya is absolutely amazing to explore. We just enjoy life in general.

    We will need your help for 5 hours a day. 5 days a week (Flexible)

    For now we can put you up in little vans with beds .You will need to bring your own good sleeping bags. It can get cold at night up in these mountains in winter.
    We will provide 3 meals a day and coffee, tea, water, squash.
    We cook with dairy products,eggs and sometimes meat.

    You will need some good and proper walking/working shoes!

    There is a reasonable internet signal but we DON'T have wifi or hotspot!

    Any more questions? Just contact us and we hope to see you soon here!
