    Description

    After 20 years in Paris working in real estate, finance and finally tourism I recently I moved to South of Spain to fullfill my dream: change life to a simplier life, close to nature and the sea, opening my yoga and hiking retreat lodge. The retreats organised are intimate with around 5/6 people hosted usually .

    I am a single mum of a 13 year old daughter Alice. We arrived in 2018 and moved into my beautiful house set 9 km from the sea in the beautiful white andalucian mountain village Sayalonga . I am looking for somebody helping me with the work in the house not related to the business (vegan/vegetarian cooking, cleaning, ..), taking care of my 13 year old daughter Alice during evening yoga class and on some weekends when I have guests. Driving licence is a required and being able to drive in mountain roads to be able to pick her up from school.

    We are usually looking for volunteers who want to stay at least 2 months (but can be less sometimes) and enjoy the serene beauty of the mountains, an uplifting environment with healthy food, yoga, mindfulness, love of nature and loving community of like minded people.

    Volunteer can participate in activities with the guests and yoga classes.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am a citizen of the world, of diverses origins and horizons, travelled the world and love to share my experience. I speak German, French, English and Spanish, skills I can share too. I love vegetarian and healthy cooking, philosophy, spirituality and self development and am a 500h yoga teacher. All these could benefit to the workaway and of course last but not least : Andalucia is a gem and the climate is very pleasant throughout the year.
