Description
We are an international family, who lived the past couple of years in Berlin (Germany). now we escaped the rat race. No more big cities and stress, and ! we exchanged the the big city for a more peaceful life.
“A coincidence” led us to Nerja. We craved a place with good food, stunning nature, free spirited people and we found it all in and around Nerja! It’s such an amazing energy here.
We found a special beautiful house which was unfortunately neglected. The biggest part was renovated (and still, there are some renovations going on) but now the fun part comes into play: painting, DIying, doing some maintenance, garden work and to breath in some fresh air in this beauty! It has soooo much potential! And you can help us to enjoy creating and fixing and cleaning and watching the phoenix rising from its ashes!! ;)

Help
We moved into this wonderful house mid October. It’s in the nature in Nerja. We’re surrounded by mountains, but also the salsa/ fitness place is not far, also the horse ranch, farmers and supermarket. You can drive by car 8 minutes to the city center and the beach.
The house needs some love and care. The pre-owner treated it not very kindly. There is a possibility to borrow you my car.
What I need from you in the house:
✨ general maintenance
✨ fixing things
✨ cleaning the house
✨ gardening
✨ painting
✨ we just need to inhale some new life into the house
✨ if you have some carpenters skills: amazing
✨ if you are passionate about DIY/ Upcycling/ sawing: amazing
My daughter and I have a special healthy diet, also I do not have fixed time for cooking that’s why I prefer that you get your own food and cook for yourself whatever you like. Therefore you work 3 hours a day from Monday till Friday and the rest is your free time. As a workawayer, I myself only worked less hours and bought my own food.
We have no Internet here (yet) because I use only my unlimited internet on the phone. The Spanish numbers offer unlimited or soo much Gigabyte for a great price!
We have to see on the spot what needs to be done and where you can help us! Please come with a flexible attitude and an open mind.
Do you want to join us on this adventure?

Accommodation
A super comfy Vintage van with your own mini kitchen, stove, little fridge and table. You can shower in my place.
In future you can have your own room in the house but right now every room has to be painted, designed, and they’re semi-ready.
But I have to say during winter the van / camper is much more warmer and has some advantages.
What else ...
Nerja is a beautiful town full of little white houses. It offers different events , beautiful beaches, nature… but also the places around nerja are beautiful (maro, frigiliana, la herradura, Malaga)… there is always something to do. I’m a member in private Telegramm and WhatsApp groups where I’m always informed by the newest shows, events, markets, flea markets, organic food, projects etc
