Description
We are a family living in a very big traditional catalan country house in the top of a volcano. In the beautiful Natural Park of La Garrotxa, Olot.
Me and my sister adquired an old ruin nearby and we are rebuilding it.
I work as a secondary teacher during mornings but we enjoy building and turning an old ruin into live.
I am myself a carpenter but we do al sorts of stuff. Such as stone building, plumbering or electricity. There are also other tasks such gardening, collecting wood or tending the animals.
We are a big family. My parents living in a house nearby. Me and my teenage brother and my sister who has a sweet newborn daughter called Julia.
The house is located in a beautiful and peaceful place surrounded by nature and nice paths to hike.
I also like to do rock climbing and there is a big climbing spot nearby where we can go.
I also love traveling and I appreciate very much to learn from other cultures and I love exchanging languages. As you can see I speak several.
The lodging is in private bedrooms in a simple but nice and clean wooden. I can host maximum two volunteers at a time due to space limitations.
The food is vegetarian and mostly organic from our garden. Including home farmed eggs. Since we are vegetarian we don't provide with meat but feel free to buy meat if you feel.
Hope to see you soon!
