  Hello ☀️ I am 33 and homeowner of a spacious apartment in Iznajar, the heart of Andalucía. This village is situated 600m above the sea level and counts with a sandy beach on the lake. Pantano de Iznájar is largest lake in the area and it is surrounded by beautiful olive groves and populated with the cutest rabbits, sqruels, owls etc... The village itself is small but it has all necesary amenities for day to day life. This village is also famous for its art. It is located 1 hour drive from Málaga, Córdoba and Granada, which makes it perfect base for exploring Andalucía.
  If you are travelling by car you can find nearby parking free of charge. My home is situated in the centre of the village and wherever you go you'll need to walk one way up which will definitely keep you fit 😄
  
  You must be non smoker and parties are not allowed.
  I am a photographer in a change of career currently.
  Recently I adopted a puppy dog of Belgian Shepard Malinois. His name is Kofi.
  I work as a barista and studying/upgrading my knowledge as veterinarian technician. I myself am well travelled and open minded person.
  
  Due to work and my upcoming practice, I will need help with a dog care as I don't want him to be alone for too long.
  Dog care will requiere walks and feeding whilst I am not at home.
  It would be only few hours a day 5 days a week. The rest of the time you can do what you like.
  
  I can offer you one meal a day, your own bedroom and time to take you places when I can, which can include visiting of other cities and days on the beach in Málaga.
  
  I lead very quite life and don't tend to have visitors too often. Sometimes my friends come over for coffee or dinner but that is all, since I spend most of the time out. At my days off if I go anywhere, dog usually comes with me and you are welcome to join.
  
  Please message me with the idea of your stay with Kofi and me, so we can arrange a video call.
  
  Thank you

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Life in nature brings peace and tranquility. Just living in this place brings satisfaction. Neighbours are lovely and the place is sorrounded by olive groves , which means you can try so many different types of olives and oil. Living in this area is not as costly as the coast side even tho it's only an hour away.

  Help

  I live alone in the building of 3 apartments. Twice a month I clean the roof terrace and the stairway in entire building. It usually takes 1-2 hours to do. Other than that and a dog care explained in description, it is a general maintaenence saying keep our space clean. I love my space clean and I try to keep it that way as much as I can. There is no specific cleaning /work time, simply do as you go. If you wish you can help me decorate some parts that are left to do, but it is not a must.

  What else ...

  Even tho it is a small village you can always find things to do, and there is always something happening. The only minus for this place is a public transport as you would need to change at least 2 buses to get to the city if you wanted to go on your own. I can take you places by car, but if too often, than would need to share fuel costs.
