Beschreibung
Hi, we’re Alyssa and Victor, and our pets are Milla the cat and Octavio the greyhound. We bought a house about 40km from Barcelona in the mountains near Montserrat.
Our idea is to renovate it over the spring and summer, so that we can offer free artist residency programmes. The garden will have a chicken coop and we’ll build terracing for a vegetable garden.
Alyssa is half Finnish, half English but grew up in Switzerland and Japan. Victor is Venezuelan and lived around latin America. We met on Tinder in Berlin in 2019 and somehow found our way to this picturesque spot in the Catalan mountains!
We have plenty of tasks that need doing for all kinds of different skills so feel free to send a message proposing something.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Pedro & Alessandro)
Pedro and Alessandro are some of the best people I've met during this Workway experience. They are kind, fun and very hardworking. They have great skills so they can help with almost anything, and they also have a great attitude to learn and try things. I recommend them to anyone if they want awesome people around.

One of our best experiences to date, it couldn’t have been a better match.

We were really impressed by Deni's attitude and the variety of skills she brought with her.

We would never have known it was Victor's first workaway experience. He came at a moment when we weren't 100% sure which direction to take the project in, so his flexibility, open-mindedness and versatility of skills came in mega handy. From scouting out hiking trails, to chipping away at old plaster in the house, his contributions to our project… read more
