Enjoy nature, music & simple island life on La Palma, Spain

  Description

  Hello, my name is Stephan — welcome to my profile.
  
  A few years ago I left Germany after many years working in business and decided to create a different lifestyle. I bought a finca in the beautiful north of La Palma (Garafía) and started building a quieter life closer to nature.
  
  Life here is simple and peaceful. The place is surrounded by mountains, ocean views and a lot of silence. I enjoy music, philosophical conversations, nature and meeting interesting people from different backgrounds.
  
  I play guitar, sing and sometimes compose songs. Music and good conversations are part of daily life here.
  Over the years I experimented with organic gardening and some permaculture ideas. At the moment the garden is quite natural and simple, not a big production garden. There are always small things to improve, plant or maintain, but it’s more about enjoying the process and the place.
  
  There are also small projects around the finca: organizing spaces, light gardening, simple maintenance and sometimes creative ideas for improving the place step by step.
  
  I appreciate people who are open-minded, independent and enjoy a calm lifestyle close to nature. This place is especially good for people who like meaningful conversations, music, nature and a slower rhythm of life.
  
  If you feel comfortable with simple island life and enjoy helping a few hours a day while sharing experiences, you will probably feel at home here.

  What's this?

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I guess seeing how I live here in comparison to how I used to live could open peoples eyes. You can learn to ferment vegetables, Kefir, Kombucha etc. (I make it professionally - used to be my business). You can learn to play the guitar. We can jam if you can sing or play also an instrument. We can also talking about how to establish an online business. I am into healthy nutrition and have a lot of experience regarding digestion. And much more!

  Help

  My permaculture project needs a lot of help. If you are into web design, blog writing (fermentation recipes), social media, YouTube Videos, e-book writing, online marketing in general and so on — I could also need some support.

  This host offers a language exchange
  I like to learn foreign languages. Especially I would like to learn and improve my little Spanish. The last years I was so busy with other stuff, so it would be great to get an upgrade. On the other hand I would like to teach people some German and give them an insight of the German culture.

  Can host digital nomads

  Digital nomads are very welcome! I was some kind of digital nomad, and I am also working on my Blog. Fermentation, Meditation, and other healthy stuff is what I am into. This also includes that I like to avoid Wi-Fi. In my opinion, Wi-Fi is not that good for humans, animals, and insects. So I would prefer not to contaminate the ether 24/7. When I work on my online projects I use a LAN cable and I have many meters yet;-). But it is also possible to edit the router to have a Wi-Fi connection.
