Description
🌞 Summer in Nerja 🌞
Summer has arrived, and Nerja is truly a little paradise to spend the season in. The house is fully occupied during the summer, but I have a different option for adventurous souls!
I will provide a tent in the garden (or bring your own), where you can sleep surrounded by nature. There is electrical cable available next to the tent, an outdoor toilet, and at these warm temperatures you are free to use the outdoor shower by the pool. Please note: The setup is very simple, natural, and a little wild – perfect for someone who enjoys an alternative lifestyle and being close to nature.
We tend to live a little outside of time and space during the summer, so if this relaxed schedule works well for you, you are welcome. 😊
We are artists by heart, so if you like to live in flow, we are a good match.
I also have two bicycles available, and the beach is only about 15 minutes away by bike.
If this sounds like your kind of summer adventure, I am happy to hear back from you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can share healthy recipes, DIY ideas, gardening knowledge, creative projects, spiritual conversations, life experiences, and learn from each other along the way.
Everyone brings something unique, and I always believe there is something we can teach each other. ✨🌿 -
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.

Help
The exchange is based on 3 hours of help per day, starting the day after you arrive.
The rhythm is:
5 days of helping
2 days completely free
The projects can vary and on some days we might need help 5 hours a day. On these days we provide simpel breakfast, warm lunch and some snacks in the evening.
For the 3-hours schedule, please provide your own food.
I'm looking for kind, independent, flexible people who enjoy simple living, creativity and nature.
The tasks are generally light and not physically demanding, such as:
Refreshing my herb garden area
Small DIY and woodworking projects (it's a PLUS!)
Painting something beautiful on the outdoor walls (mandalas, herbs, nature-inspired artwork, etc.)
Sweeping and maintaining the terraces
Watering the plants
Simple carpentry tasks, drilling holes, fixing things, and helping with practical projects around the house
Someone who is handy with tools, enjoys creative projects, and likes working independently would be ideal. -

What else ...
Close by — just 7 minutes by car or about 20 minutes by bike — is Nerja, a beautiful coastal town. It offers stunning beaches, amazing nature, and a very colorful mix of people that makes the place especially interesting.
The surrounding areas are just as beautiful: Maro, Frigiliana, La Herradura, and Málaga are all in vicinity (by bus or car) and there’s always something to explore or do. -
