    Hello, I'm Claudia from Switzerland and have been living in Fuerteventura for 15 years, more precisely in Lajares, a village with exceptional charm. I have 2 girls, 1 cats and we have been living in our own home with a large garden for 6 years. So there is always something to do with us. We are very happy to meet you. Kind regards Claudia, Nelah and Lily

    Wir freuen uns sehr dich kennenzulernen.
    Liebe Grüsse Claudia, Nelah und Lily

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will have a great time exploring little Lajares which is home to 30 different nationalities. It's a special place, very safe and yet very Spanish. Just 15 minutes away you will find beautiful beaches for surfing, windsurfing, swimming or any other activity you like. There is public transport, but not really to get to the beautiful northern beaches. If you are on a budget it is much easier and more fun if you have a rental car. Autoreisen.it is the cheapest.

    Ihr werdet eine tolle Zeit haben, der kleine Lajares zu erkunden, in der 30 verschiedene Nationalitäten leben. Es ist ein besonderer Ort, sehr sicher und dennoch sehr spanisch geblieben. In nur 15 Minuten Entfernung findet ihr wunderschöne Strände zum Surfen, Windsurfen, Schwimmen oder für andere Aktivitäten, die ihr mögt. Es gibt öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, aber nicht wirklich, um zu den schönen Stränden im Norden zu gelangen. Wenn ihr über ein kleines Budget verfügen ist es viel einfacher und unterhaltsamer wenn ihr einen Mietwagen habt. Autoreisen.es ist am günstigsten.

    Help

    I'm currently specifically looking for help in the garden, the banana plants need to be cut back and other trees also need some care. So it should be someone who likes to lend a hand and create some order alone or together with me. I also have a container that I would like to clear out. It has stored old building materials and garden tools and, above all, has gotten a lot of dust in the last few months. Otherwise, I thought I would have some playtime with the girls in the afternoon to deepen whatever language they spoke. They speak fluent Spanish, Swiss German and some English.
    If you speak Spanish, I would really appreciate help with the girls' homework.
    History and language is particularly difficult for me.

    Ich suche momentan speziell Hilfe im Garten, die Bananenpflanzen müssen zurückgeschnitten werden und auch andere Bäume brauchen etwas Pflege. Es sollte also jemand sein wer gerne kraftvoll mit anpackt und alleine oder gemeinsam mit mir etwas Ordnung schafft.
    Zudem habe ich einen Container den ich gerne mal ausmisten würde, dieser hat alte Baumaterialien und Gartengeräte gelagert und vor allem viel Staub abgekriegt in den letzten Monaten.
    Ansonsten dachte ich nachmittags etwas Spielzeit mit den Mädchen, um welche Sprache auch immer zu vertiefen. Sie reden fliessend spanisch, schweizerdeutsch und etwas englisch.
    Falls du spanisch redest, würde ich mich sehr über Unterstützung bei den Hausaufgaben der Mädchen freuen. Geschichte und Sprache ist besonders schwierig für mich.

    Accommodation

    Your accommodation is a VW Westfalia which is right next to the house. The kitchen works perfectly and it also has a camping toilet. You are welcome to use the shower in the house.
    At the back of the property there is a tiny HOME which I normally rent out to tourists but if it is free you could also sleep there. It has a small outdoor kitchen, toilet and shower with warm water. Everything you could want and need. Feel free to look at the photos!
    I would also like to communicate that, in principle, no meals are included during the stay. Of course we will definitely eat together sometime and you are welcome to do so.

    Deine Unterkunft ist ein VW Westfalia welcher direkt neben dem Haus steht. Küche funktioniert einwandfrei und es hat auch eine Campingtoilette. Die Dusche kannst du gerne mit im Haus benutzen.
    Im hinteren Bereich des Grundstückes hat es noch ein tiny HOME normalerweise vermiete ich dies an Touristen aber falls es gerade frei ist könntest du auch da schlafen. Es hat eine kleine Aussenküche, Toilette und Dusche mit warm Wasser. Alles was man sich wünscht und braucht. Schau dir gerne die Fotos an!
    Hiermit möchte ich auch kommunizieren das grundsätzlich keine Malzeiten während des Aufenthaltes inbegriffen sind. Klar werden wir bestimmt mal zusammen essen und da bist du gerne eingeladen.
