Description
Hello! We’re Jen and Mike, and we live with our two boys, William and Lochy, on a rural finca between Santa Maria and Alaró in Mallorca, at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains.
Our home has a vegetable garden, chickens, bees and pets, so there’s always something to keep us busy! We love being outdoors, growing food and spending time with our animals. Sailing is also a big part of our family life, and Mike’s work sometimes takes him away to sea.
We’d love to welcome someone friendly, practical and happy around children and animals, who enjoys country life and would like to get involved in our everyday family routine.
We’re looking forward to meeting someone from a different background, sharing experiences and welcoming an extra pair of hands into our home. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
At the moment, I’m quite busy with school runs and after school activities, but I really enjoy having company in the free moments in between. It would be lovely to host someone who’s happy exploring independently during the day, but who’d also enjoy having a warm home to come back to and sharing a meal and a chat about our day.

Help
We’d love to welcome someone who enjoys being part of family life and can lend an extra pair of hands around the house. Right now, I’m spending extra time helping my children settle into school, so support at home and in the garden would make a big difference. We’d especially appreciate help in the vegetable garden, looking after the winter veg, and with general household and garden tasks. You’ll have your own independent space in our beautiful, self-contained tiny house with its own bathroom and kitchen, surrounded by nature.

Accommodation
about 200 meters from our main family home, we have a fully self-contained tiny house set in our vegetable garden. It has its own bathroom and kitchen, lovely views, Normally we rent it out, but for this stay it will be yours. It also has a projector for movies, a barbecue area and a fire pit.

What else ...
Our Spanish finca is in a peaceful, rural setting, reached by a fairly bumpy road. We’re about 4 km from the nearest town, Santa Maria del Camí, which has lovely bars and restaurants, as well as a jazz club. There’s also a train station with connections to Palma, the island’s main city, taking around 25 minutes.
We have electric mountain bikes for you to use to explore the area in your free time. There may also be a car available, although this isn’t guaranteed. If you’d like to use it, you’ll need a valid driving licence and to feel comfortable driving on the right-hand side of the road.
This would suit someone who enjoys being surrounded by nature and is happy exploring independently, with a warm, welcoming home to return to. -
