Description
Hey, I’m Edu from Venezuela, now living in a lovely mountain village near the beautiful town of Granada in Andalusia, Spain. The area offers a lot of opportunities for outdoor activities, such as climbing or hiking. I’m always searching for nice people to help me with tasks around my home and garden and share good times together.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can take you out climbing and teach you a lot about that. And I can also offer language training in Spanish if you want to train your skills :-)
And of course, there’s the nice possibility to meet people from everywhere and have a good time with them, due to the hostel being near by.
Another reason to come here is Granada and it’s surroundings! It’s a beautiful town with a lot to see and do, and just 50 minutes away by bus from my place.
Regarding sports activities: there is a lot of climbing around, one sector is just around the corner, and you can do many other outdoor sports around here. Basically everything you can think of. For example hiking and mountainbiking is starting right in front of the house. Also the mediterranean sea is about 80km away.
Help
I‘m looking for responsible persons who will help me maintain my garden, as well as help with different renovation or maintenance works that need to be done around my house and garden.
Gardening tasks depend of course on the season: in autumn/winter it´s more about cleaning, like collecting leaves, etc. and prepare the veggie garden for winter, so it can start again in spring.
In spring all plants grow like crazy, so it will be a lot of cutting, cleaning, preparing the veggie garden, planting, ...
In general I like our Workawayers to help me shape the place and garden, so you can get creative!
I would like to have somebody who will stay at least a month, or longer if possible. Volunteers with a camper (or a car to sleep in) are welcome.
