    Description

    My project is a renovation of my house. There is all sorts of help needed here, like DIY, carpentry, plastering, painting, electrics, plumbing etc. Ideally I need someone with this sort of skills, but common sense, bit of creativity and a can-do attitude can also work wonders.

    I am trying to do the works possibly efficient, cost effective, and environment-friendly, e.g.: I use second hand materials or I modify things instead of buying new ones. It is important that you have positive outlook and are able to find SOLUTIONS rather than problems everywhere!


    I provide accomodation and breakfast and dinner.

    Working hours: 20 hours per week. Usually Monday to Friday 4 hours per day.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You'll get to learn and experience here: a creative thinking, responsibility, good work ethic and house-sharing/ co-habitance skills.

    Myself: I'm a cultural mixture. I am originally polish, I lived in England for 8 years and now, since 2019 I've lived in Spain. I'm moderately sociable. I like spending time with people, but I also appreciate having my own time and space.

    I’m a flexible, relaxed but organised person. I believe in modesty and simplicity of life. I like to laugh and joke around, nevertheless I'm well focused and I care about getting the job done.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Spain is a country rich in culture and character. There's always something happening around. Algeciras is located by the sea. Has two beaches and a big port. It isn't really a typical Spanish seaside town. It's more of an industrial city. Rather poor, multicultural and authentic. You'll find here Morrocans, South-Americans, Gypsies or Eastern Europeans like me. :)
    There are two very nice hikes you can do in nearby mountains. We are also in short distance (30min bus journey) from Tarifa - biggest in Spain surfing centre and same distance to Gibraltar - British overseas territory.
