    Hello!

    *Im looking for a female workawayer only. *
    If you are looking for a place to get a way, find peace, nights of silence and pure sky with stars, with small to none amount of people, away from city, with small local shops, this is a place for you.
    You will be staying with me and my dog at my house on the top of the island with a beautiful view and surrounding.
    You will have your own room and privacy. Heating is on wooden stove, cooking on gas.
    Currently I'm all alone, working in the city 5 days in a week for 10 hours, therefore i need help with my dog, someone who could stay with him, go for walks while im away.
    Collecting woods for heating would also be helpful.
    Im an artist and looking forward to meet people with similar ideas all around the world... Permaculture, gardening, vegetarian, friendly, easy going..

    If you found yourself in two or three of those here, please continue reading next, about the dog and me.
    Feel free to ask anything.

    -Bubi, the dog is my pet. Hes used to traveling with me, hes very well behaved, clean, know to live with cats and other dogs. He just needs time to adjust/like you so dont judge by the first day you meet us. He is protective of his own space.
    Otherwise, he just wants to cuddle, be in peace, but not alone, and to feel accepted.
    He is 15, he has 20 teeth left and sleeps most of the time, he doesnt hear well and doesnt see well, can get lost sometimes and think that you are someone else.
    He walks very slowly and this takes a lot of patience. He has arthritis so warmth and fire help him a lot.

    About me:
    -Did lots of volunteering, I hosted volunteers on my helpx account and I lived in many different communities together with my dog Bubi.
    -Off grid, squats, spiritual, retreats, vegan, artist,...I finished European Solidarity 1 year long volunteering in Ireland within amazing The Night Orchard org, check their instagram:
    -Ive also worked as a gardener on regenerative farm for 9 months in Portugal @ AQuintaDaLage

    -What I learned is, I prefer to have rules set and clear daily/weekly task
    -I also dont drink or smoke, my house is smoke and alcohol free
    - Im very introverted, and like to respect others private space
    -90% vegan (and I prefer to live with someone who is vegeterian)
    -My long time dream is to find an eco-community where I could live for ever sustainable.
