    Description

    My project is to create a beautiful and sustainable place on my land, a meeting place for travellers and all kind of people who want to do different activities. There are some ideas that I want to carry out; I want to built a house in an old bus, restore 2 cave houses, a small water reserve , and I plan to cultivate its orchard areas... and many more ideas such as building an alpine wooden house.

    That is a little description of what I have in mind. I have been working my whole life and I’ve just closed my garage business and I’ve sold my house and bought this field. My dream is to travel around the world and I would like to carry out this project, because I don’t like the rhythm nor the direction that this society imposes on me.

    Right now I have a structure kind of like a garage, built by me, where I have enough tools from my old car restoration garage: it is possible for me to teach people how to work with the body of a car in groups or provide workshop service to travellers.

    I also have two tent trailers, with two rooms in each one and a space with a kitchen or room to stay. I have a campervan which is the one I’m driving.

    I’m willing to build a yurt or teepee or similar, with help, to give a little more comfort to the volunteers.

    I’ve just been working in this project for a few months and I’ve just begun my new path, that I’m still getting used to!

    I’d love to have some help, suggestions or advice.

    Thank you



    Mi proyecto consiste en hacer de mi terreno un bonito y sostenible lugar de encuentro, para viajeros y todo tipo de gente que quiera realiza diversas actividades. Hay varias ideas para llevar a cabo; restaurar un autobús antiguo como vivienda, 2 casas cueva, un horno moruno, una pequeña balsa, volver a cultivar sus zonas de huerta... y muchas ideas más, como la de construir una casa de madera alpina.

    Esto es un poco la descripción de lo que tengo en mente, llevo toda mi vida trabajando y acabo de cerrar mi taller, he vendido mi casa y he comprado este terreno, mi idea es viajar por el mundo y quiero llevar a cabo este proyecto, porque no comparto el ritmo ni la dirección que me impone la sociedad.

    En estos momentos dispongo de una nave construida por mi, donde tengo bastantes herramientas de mi antiguo taller de restauración de coches: cabe la posibilidad de enseñar a trabajar la chapa y poder restaurar algún coche en grupo, o dar servicio de taller a los viajeros.

    Tengo también dos remolques tienda, con dos habitaciones cada uno y estancia/cocina. Y tengo una furgoneta camperizada que es con la que yo me muevo.

    Estoy abierto a montar alguna yurta o tipi o similar, con ayuda, para dar un poco más de comodidad a los voluntarios.

    Solamente llevo unos meses en este proyecto y comienzo así mi andadura, aún me estoy adaptando!

    Acepto cualquier, ayuda sugerencia o consejo.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    As I explained a little earlier, I am currently sleeping in my van. But I can offer 2 store trailers (Comanche and Inesca) that have two separate rooms, and a closed advance. I am starting to build a housing bus, and there are also 2 cave houses that need a lot of manpower. If necessary I am willing to provide a yurt or a teepee, or a small green house that can serve as accommodation, but this would already be in case someone who needed it came and we could do it with your help.
    All this is at the beginning, I am looking for people who like nature and a calm and sustainable lifestyle. I do not demand or ask for a fixed schedule, I simply ask for help both working the garden, as work in the caves or carpentry or simply making food, and I would be the one to provide the raw materials for this (I mean the food and tools and materials) awaiting the fruits of the garden, or the construction of a chicken coop, etc.

    Diversos tipos. Como ya he explicado un poco antes, yo en este momento estoy durmiendo en mi furgoneta. Pero puedo ofrecer 2 remolques tienda (comanche e Inesca) que tienen dos estancias separadas, y un avance cerrado. Estoy empezando a construir un autobús vivienda, y también hay 2 casas cueva que necesitan mucha mano de obra. Si fuera necesario estoy dispuesto a proporcionar una yurta o un teepee, o una pequeña cabaña de bioconstrucción que puedan servir de alojamiento, pero esto ya sería en caso de que viniera alguien que lo necesitara y pudiéramos hacerlo con su ayuda.
    Todo esto está en el principio, busco personas que les guste la naturaleza y un estilo de vida tranquilo y sostenible. No exijo ni pido un horario fijo, simplemente pido una ayuda tanto trabajando la huerta, como de obra en las cuevas o carpintería o simplemente haciendo la comida, y yo sería el que aportara las materias primas para esto (me refiero a la comida y a las herramientas y materiales) a la espera de los frutos del huerto, o de la construcción de un gallinero, etc.
