Description
Anglo/Filipino couple with 2 sons 10 and 12. Beautiful, peaceful, private park and private resort in La Union area of the Philippines. In the process of creating a music recording studio and music training camps to help young local musicians. Looking for people with extensive musical background (instruments, studio knowledge) able and willing to teach music to young people. We also need people to help maintain the property; gardening etc. We are offering individual, private and very comfortable accommodation and great food. We have a private swimming pool, games areas and 4 hectares of private park to get lost or just wander around in. A very short tricycle ride from the local town and beaches, shops etc. If you are looking for a peaceful working break away from the cities, noise and pollution, feel free to contact us.

We are part of a very small and friendly Philippino farming community. Many skill, languages, music etc can be learned
Helpers can spend time with the friendly local villagers who are very happy for the company. We are very close to the town/city of Agoo and its architecture and bustling market just 20 minutes tricycle ride away and then the seaside and fishing port of Agoo. Baguio city is an hour and a half bus ride away. San Fernando and San Juan the surfing capital of the Philippines is also an hour and a half bus ride away. If you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Asian cities and come to a really chilled and relaxed farm. After your days work there is plenty of space and a great pool, also plenty of recreation facilities and areas (especially for musicians and singers) then we have the place for you.Projects involving children
