    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.

    It’s important that you are at least 30 years old and able to speak conversational Spanish. A valid driving licence is essential, and you must be comfortable driving a manual car.

    The help I need

    🌿 DIY and bikes repairs – priority

    I have four bicycles that need repairing and some maintenance. I’m looking for someone who enjoys fixing bikes and would be happy to help me get them back in good working order.

    I also have some small DIY projects around the house: putting up shelves, repairing or giving a new life to some furniture and windows, and other little things that need to be done.

    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 :-)
