    Hi Workawayer!

    I'm Marc and me and my family are living in Sant Feliu de Pallerols, a small and so beautiful village in the north of Catalonia. Pilar and me have a sun who is called Aritz. He is almost three years old. We are an easy family and we love a "live simple" style.

    We work as a teachers during the week. On the weekend I go climbing and Pilar likes to stay at the nature, make essential oils, study astrology, and many other interesting things.

    Nowdays, we're moving to another house, and we have a big project there. The house has three floors and we want to reform it in order to get a very nice home. Would you like to come to our home for helping us while we together enjoy the nature from our region. What does ‘helping us’ means?

    Right now, I am creating an organic garden and I would need you take care it. If you have experience in agriculture do not hesitate to come to our house to help us.

    Otherwise, I have a camper van that needs maintenance. I mean, in order to help me, you'll have to make some arrangements in the van furniture.

    Finally, the biggest project we are creating as I told you is to reform a village house. We want to turn it into a rural style house. We are so excited about this project, as well as very scared to start it. Therefore, we need your help to reform it. Which kind of skills you need for that?

    You need to have knowledge about palette, although professionals will be working at home and can guide you. Don't worry about that. On the other hand, if you know how to paint walls, you will also be welcome, as well as solve electrical and plumbing problems. In addition, we also need to remove furniture from the house, as well as perform cleaning tasks.

    Do you know how to do something like this? Then come!

    We live in La Garrotxa, a beautiful region with many mountains, rivers, and a fantastic nature. Would you like climbing or taking a bath in a secret river? Just come and do it! I'm a climber and we love going to the fantastic rivers near where we live.

    What can I say more?? We live in house! Yes, big and quiet house. You'll have enough space to get relax and take time for you. You'll have a big room and a private bathroom with a free wifi.

    Our goal is to use english language in order to improve it and teching our sun.

    Of course, if you want, you can speak Spanish with us if you want to improve it… or we can teach you some Catalan words if you are bold! :)

    If you have any question, please let me know it!

    I hope see you soon!

    Marc
