    Description

    Hello! I'm Gaby. I live in a hand built wooden house in a pretty village at the foot of the medieval white hilltop town of Vejer. On the land I have various fruit trees including avocados, oranges, lemons, mangos, chirimoyas, guabas, feijoas, pomegranates... a little vegetable garden, lots of flower beds, 10 old hens, a daft dog and a cuddly cat. I usually spend mornings in the garden and afternoons working on my art.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I can offer guests a taste of life in southern Spain: gazpacho, siestas and cañas. There are many things to see and do near by: beautiful beaches to swim at, pretty towns to explore, nice hikes to go on... We can talk in either English or Spanish and hopefully cook together. I have a bike, an inflatable canoe and a surf board you can borrow.

  • Help

    Help

    I'm generally looking for people to help in the garden and around the land. Specific tasks might include: planting, watering, weeding, strimming, pruning, clearing, digging... There's always something to do, plants don't seem to want to stop growing!

    There are also always plenty of handy jobs too, such as a shade needing building and a hen pen redoing.

    Everyone is welcome, but people with gardening and/or carpentry skills are particularly welcome :)

    I've learnt I'm not so good at being too on top of people, so self-reliant and motivated folk are much appreciated.

    I would like to learn German, but I think it's too difficult for me. Prove me wrong?

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You can stay in your own little house with its own kitchen, bathroom and a cosy bed nestled in the tree tops. So long as I'm home, I thought we could share breakfast lunch and dinner as well as many cups of tea.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Public transport around here is a bit lousy, but if you don't come in your own vehicle I can of course pick you up from wherever and do my best to take you to the places you would like to go to. I also have a bike you can borrow and if you are over 25 maybe I can lend you my car from time to time.

    I keep myself busy, but will do my best to include you in as much of my social life as you might be interested in. This could include dancing, climbing, hiking, or just going for a drink.
