    Description

    [Please reply to host in Spanish]

    We are Marian and Mikel, biologist and geographer who came to live in the mountains many years ago in order to discover the life, history and customs of the people who inhabit this natural environment.
    Mikel: 1 year and a half ago I suffered a stroke that has limited me in my daily life, so I look for help to carry out those tasks that I can not do on my own now. In return, I will be happy to teach and share my knowledge in agriculture, botany, ornithology, geology ... nature in general, in addition to the historical wealth of this area of the Pyrenees.
    Marian works outside, so most of the time she will not be home.

    Somos Marian y Mikel, bióloga y geógrafo que vinimos a vivir a la montaña hace muchos años con el fin de descubrir la vida, la historia y las costumbres de las gentes que habitan este medio tan natural.
    Mikel: hace 1 año y medio sufrí un ictus que me ha limitado en mi vida diaria, por lo que busco la ayuda para las realización de esas tareas que ahora ya no puedo hacer por mi mismo. A cambio, estaré encantado de enseñar y compartir mis conocimientos en agricultura, botánica, ornitología, geología..naturaleza en general, además de la riqueza histórica de esta zona del pirineo.
    Marian trabaja fuera, por lo que la mayor parte del tiempo no estará en casa.
