Description
Accepting helpers over 40!!!
Hi !!! My name is Ann and I see man or woman who is not skearmish and can collect debris from our backfield, and do small jobs like painting a wall. I do these things myself but I would love to have help.
And anything else that can improve the life of my parents who are over 80 years old. If you want to learn ancient Greek (cypriots speak an ancient dialect of Greek) there is your change. I was born and raised in athens so my greek is modern and 'athenian' yet my parents come from cyprus so their glossary is cypriot, not greek from mainland greece. Cypriot dialect of Greek sounds as if someone shouts all the time, maybe because in older times they didnt have telephones and they had to shout to each other in the villages.
We have dog/cats (free roaming cats outside) lizards and occasional roddents. It is a semi industrial semi agricultural land mingles with a few houses in the united kingdom part of Limassol (see google maps for united kingdom area of limassol).
If you want to stay longer until you find a job (if you aim to move to cyprus for a few years or permanently) workaway would be a way to learn greek, (english is widely used but it gives you a door to a new world if you can learn a bit of cypriotic greek), and talk about cyprus and your aims here. I am cypriot but my parents where in athens when i was born and so i grew up there, not here, so Cyprus is a bit of foreign land to me too.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
- native Greek family, if you ever nearly wanted to learn modern Greek, you can do that here,
- My mother and I cook middle east and greek food that we can share with you (if you want). We also eat olives made in cyprus and can discuss abut Koumandaria (local sweet wine). Many tourists when the leave cyprus they buy koumandaria bottle from duty free :)) Its very sweet wine like Port of Portugal and usually I dont have it at home but there is a Wine Museum in a nearby village that you can access by walking 2km to bus station then taking a bus or i will drive you there. There they give you samples of local wines. The ticket is 7 euro last time i checked (its a private museum about wines).
Help
Require one helper to declutter back field and tidy up, I am interested into building a hut with bricks if you have any experience building small spaces i would love to help you build together a place where workaways like yourself can stay instead of a tent. If you do this you can stay way longer. We can build it i guess easier with wood supply but i dont know how to/the details.
