    We’re very flexible with how you choose to work and help. If you need to fit tasks around remote work or other projects, that’s absolutely fine — we understand the balance. There’s a strong fibre-optic internet connection at the house and good mobile signal at the van, so online work, calls, or streaming aren’t a problem. We usually agree on the main jobs for the week and let you organise your time so that it fits naturally with your own schedule. Some days might be more hands-on; others can be lighter if you’re focused on online work. It’s an ideal place if you want to combine remote work with time outdoors, enjoy a slower pace between tasks, and be part of a small, creative family project in Galicia.

    If you’re travelling in your own camper van, you’re very welcome to stay here. We have a hardstanding van parking area on our land, with the same access to facilities as our own camper van — including the outdoor hot shower, hot outdoor bath, and compost toilet. It’s a quiet and scenic spot with lovely views over the site and surrounding countryside, perfect for a comfortable and peaceful stay while helping with the project.
