Description
Starting a permaculture project from scratch... For now, this is just a dream, in a half an hectare, inherited land, close to the sea, in the Costa Blanca, Spain.
I live on my own with my 3-year-old daughter, Ada. So people into natural or conscious education much welcome as well!
This summer the main tasks are around almond picking, repairing a water irrigation pond and the compost bin and, if we are enough people and motivated, starting the platform to put a small biobuild house in a corner of the land.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I have quite a bit of experience gardening, with wild plants, herbs and medicinal plants... I'm an open person. I speak fluent English, French, Italian, Catalan and Spanish. Some German and I'm keen to learn a bit of your language as well... In this moment, I have time to show around, to create an atmosphere where you can feel at ease, depending on your needs... I also like to practice yoga or some stretching... I like music, arts and create a relaxing atmosphere
Projects involving children

Help
If you have completed a pdc or just read some permaculture techniques and would like to practice... there is sooo much here that needs attention! From the design of the place, to biobuilding, reconstruction of a small medieval ruin, some areas need clearing, others we will regenerate the soil to plant some trees in the future, need to think of the storage of water, etc... Also time to observe, play music, do some crafts, eat nice veggie food... I would like to have some independent people who would like to exchange, that's the most important thing! and I'm quite open to the type of exchange we create...

Accommodation
At the moment, there is a free room in the house where I'm living that could fit 1 person or a couple. Some times, there will be room for more at the house, otherwise, at this time of the year I can provide a tent if the house is full and it's ok with the person. Food is vegetarian and mostly organic, local whenever possible.
What else ...
The place is close to Calpe, in the Costa Blanca, so if you like the beach, snorkelling or water activities are all possible here in this touristic place. We have nice wheather pretty much all year around, and there are quite a lot of places to go hiking, climbing or biking...
