Description
My project consists of making my land a beautiful and sustainable meeting place, for travellers and all kinds of people who want to carry out different activities. There are several ideas I would like to carry out; restore 2 cave houses, build a Moorish oven and dry walls, a small pond, re-cultivate the vegetable garden areas... and many more ideas, such as building an alpine wooden house.
That’s a little description of what I have in mind, I have worked all my life as a mechanic until I closed my garage, sold my house and bought this land. My idea is to travel the world and create this project because I don't share the rhythm nor the direction that society imposes on me.
At the moment, I also have a warehouse built by me, where I have a lot of tools from my old car restoration garage: there is the possibility of me teaching you how to work with sheet metal and to even restore cars, or to offer a mechanical service to travelers.
These last few years I was travelling in my van and now I have returned to Workaway to be able to move forward with my project here in Murcia and to meet and share with volunteers.
For now, I don’t ask for a minimum stay, as I prefer to start with one week and see how things go.
Mi proyecto consiste en hacer de mi terreno un bonito y sostenible lugar de encuentro, para viajeros y todo tipo de gente que quiera realiza diversas actividades. Hay varias ideas para llevar a cabo; restaurar 2 casas cueva, construir un horno moruno y muros secos, una pequeña balsa, volver a cultivar sus zonas de huerta... y muchas ideas más, como la de construir una casa de madera alpina.
Esto es un poco la descripción de lo que tengo en mente, llevo toda mi vida trabajando y acabo de cerrar mi taller, he vendido mi casa y he comprado este terreno, mi idea es viajar por el mundo y quiero llevar a cabo este proyecto, porque no comparto el ritmo ni la dirección que me impone la sociedad.
En estos últimos años he estado viajando en mi furgo y ahora he vuelto a utilizar Workaway para poder avanzar con mi proyecto aquí en Murcia y conocer y compartir con voluntarios.
Por ahora no pido estancia mínima, ya que prefiero empezar con una semana y ver cómo nos llevamos.Types of help and learning opportunities
