LOOKING FOR HELP WITH GARDENING, LANDSCAPING & FINISHING BUILDING PROJECTS.
Forget the gym. Life in the country is like working out, in nature!!
I live off-grid in an old farmhouse on a beautiful mountainside in a multi-national community above the town of Lanjaron, 1023 metres above sea level, on the south side of the Sierra Nevada mountains (Spain).
I have lived in Las Alpujarras permanently since 2005, having been a visitor for 4 years before that.
It's the longest I've lived in one place. Clearly I love it here! I know the area quite well and I continue to find more incredible local places with every exploration.
There is amazing and inspiring scenery all around: The Mediterranean sea to the south (and on a clear day, views to Morocco too); the Sierra Nevada mountains to the north and the rest of The Alpujarras to the east.
The Costa Tropical and the historical city of Granada are each about 40 minutes journey in a car/bus from here.
This is a fruit farm. Here there are: olives, grapes, pears, apples, cherries, apricots, mulberries, figs, persimons, nisboros, pineapple-guavas, raspberries, blackcurrants, blueberries, lemons, walnuts and almonds.
I do not husband animals, though there are lots who co-inhabit the land with me!
For various reasons I do not invite animals into my house. Pets are welcome if they can stay outside.
With my enjoyment of good food and my interest in healthy nutrition and harmonious living, I offer tasty vegan/vegetarian meals & I like to share kitchen activities with others.
The workaway visitors that I have had, have been instrumental in the evolution of this wonderful place that I am honoured to guardian. Many remain in contact and some visit again.
I welcome warm-hearted and open-minded folk who are able to live simply, with joy, as part of nature. -

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Come and experience simple, responsible living, off-grid, as a part of beautiful nature:
Enjoy clean air, spring water and stunning views. Nurture your whole self while lending a hand.
Learn and practice traditional and modern approaches to organic (plant) farming and conscious use of resources.
I'm willing to share my knowledge of:
the area, Gardening, Landscaping, Building, English, Spanish, Health, Nutrition, Aromatherapy, Massage, organic soap/skin product making, Yoga, Pilates, Food Preparation & anything else of interest!
There are many beautiful walks and hikes, both locally (from the front door) and a bus ride away.
Also many great events to attend in this vibrant, multi-cultural area.
The coast and Granada are reachable in less than an hour by car. -
