    Description

    My name is Iris, 37 years old. I live in the house where my grandparents lived, which is and old house built by them. Is pretty big and have a big area of land to do gardening, plant vegetables and so on. My father planted there a lot of trees which are now quite big. In the spring is plenty of grass and flowers and you can rest in the shadow of variety of trees. My family did an organic agriculture for long time.

    This days I need help to prepare the garden for the spring time. After winter time it needs to renovate a litlle bit some areas. Also working on wood for the fireplace.

    Inside the house, all the rooms are plenty of light. We don't have neighbours (only enfront of he house separate with an street) so is pretty quiet and calm.

    The place is located in a little village (1170 inhabitants) in the middle of the countryside in the Lleida's area. It's named Vilanova de Bellpuig. You can bike around and walk near the canal.

    I love spending time in nature. I am zero waste, trying to reduce and reuse. I like music a lot, reading, writing and I would like to learn singing. Also I am a dancer and I apreciate all kind of arts. I work as high school teacher.

    *Imagine what can be done and do it*

    If it is what you are looking for don't hesitate to contact me! I am sure together we will learn each other and share meals and ideas ;)
