    Description

    Hello! My name is Silvia, and I live with my son, Sebastian. We're building our living space; this place is beautiful. My granddaughter visits us sometimes. We aspire to be self-sufficient, creating a small garden, a chicken coop, and beautifying the place. For all of this, we need a few more hands! We live surrounded by nature, coexisting with the local wildlife and the pets of our neighbors who visit us. We recycle the resources the land provides, as well as those we acquire. We enjoy learning about different cultures and exchanging ideas. We offer a shared room for sleeping, lunch, and afternoon tea. We use a composting toilet and mostly cook with firewood. We ask for your help with tasks to advance our project, at least 15 hours per week, with flexibility in scheduling. We're learning as we go; it's challenging, and your contribution is invaluable. We only ask for your willingness to help. We'll guide you; the tasks are simple. Kind regards.
