    Description

    Hello ! I am Sabine. 🙋🏼‍♀️

    French woman living in Spain for many years.
    Fortià is a lovely village between Figueres (city) and Empuriabrava (Costa brava). The beaches are 8 kms from the house. There are many interesting cultural and natural beauties around. I will be very happy to take you to those beautiful places.

    I'm looking for a handy person capable of doing manual tasks such as building shelves and small carpentry projects.

    I also need help restoring my car's paintwork and repairing bodywork damage.

    A yoga, tai chi, qi gong or Pilates instructor would also be welcome!

    It's important that the person is at least thirty years old and speaks Spanish.
    A driver's license is a plus.

    We use to go together to discover the beauties and cultural spots of the region. And there is also bikes that you can use .

    We always share all the general house cleaning and the cooking. And look after Rita, the cat of the house, then to be cats lover is important. 🐱 Unfortunately for this reason I can't host volunteers with pets, sorry .

    I have been myself a workawayer as volunteer during 3 years, I had a fantastic time helping other people and I know and respect the value of this wonderful exchange!

    It will be a pleasure to tell you more about what you need to know then feel free to contact me!

    I wish you a beautiful day wherever you are!

    Thank you and best wishes.

    Sabine :-)
