    Hello. I'm Dean, and I have created this profile with help from my friend, Andy, as since I had a stroke three years ago, I can no longer type or use a computer.

    I used to be very active, and worked renovating houses and apartments, but now, sadly, I no longer can do this kind of work. I can drive, walk short distances, and do simple jobs around the house, but not a great deal else, physically. I am looking for a Workaway volunteer to help with some basic jobs, such as go to the shops to buy food, cook some meals and help me clean my apartment and an apartment I have by the sea, which friends and family stay in. I DO NOT require any medical help or assistance with anything personal. The working hours would normally be less than three hours a day, sometimes much less, with a guaranteed two days a week off. Also, I sometimes spend a couple of days a week at a villa inland where my partner lives, and on those days you would be completely free. It is an easy Workaway, which would give volunteers plenty of free time, with not a lot of work, and would suit someone who works online, would like to be near the beach, or just wants their own space for a while.

    I live in a two-bedroom apartment in Vera pueblo, about 10 minutes from the sea in the south of Spain. Close to the apartment, there are shops, restaurants, bars and a regular bus service to pretty much anywhere. Andy has a separate Workaway host profile, with his wife, Rose, titled 'Help us take care of a beautiful old farmhouse near the Mojácar coast in Andalusia, Spain', which is active and, happily, quite popular (do take a look).

    This Workaway is accommodation only, and there are supermarkets close by, but, if you are cooking for me then you can of course use the same food to cook for yourself. I can accommodate one or two Workawayers, but if there are two of you, you would be sharing a room and a bed, so it is best that you are good friends or a couple. (Or both...) I would prefer single person, to be honest, but a couple is possible. Please note, I am a smoker.

    Initially, Andy will read and respond to messages, but he will set up a video call between you and me once he has chatted and we agree to move forwards. Andy says that (he is typing so I have no choice...) I am a lovely, happy, man, with a big heart, and he is hoping that some Workaway volunteers can make my life just a little bit more pleasant with a little bit of help around the place.

    Sidenote... Andy works at a local dog shelter a few afternoons a week. If you would like to go there with him to walk some dogs, they would appreciate it. Dean will drive you there if he is free.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    Honestly, the cultural exchange element of this workaway would depend on your desire to go out and meet people and do things. I am not going to give you much cultural excitement, but you can find plenty of it locally if you look for it. I am not going to teach you about farming or biodiversity, but I do have a lot of knowledge of building and decorating techniques which I can pass on, although my body no longer allows me to do much myself.

  • Arbeit

    Arbeit

    I would like help with basic housework, help cleaning my apartment and the apartment my friends and family stay in. I would also appreciate you doing some shopping and cooking meals. At the moment, cooking is a challenge for me, so I eat only very basic meals like toast or cereal or go to the restaurant around the corner for food. NO medical or personal help will be required at any time.

    Unterkunft

    You would have a private, recently redecorated double room with a new bed and mattress and a private bathroom, in a two bedroom apartment. I can sometimes accommodate two workawayers, but you would have to be friends or partners, as there is only the one workaway room.

    Was noch ...

    Locally, there are beaches, towns. villages that can be reached via bus, and Vera town is a short walk away. Almeria, Alicante and Murcia are a longer bus ride away, and I am often available to drive short distances if you want to visit somewhere close. Two big supermarkets and a few bars and restaurants are a short walk away.

    You can park a campervan on the street outside the apartment block, but you probably won't fit anything tall in the underground carpark.

    One well behaved dog is welcome, but do remember, this is an apartment, not a house with a garden.
