Description
Hi! I'd like to offer you accommodation in my caravan located close to Los Corrales de Buelna, in Cantabria. It is located under oak trees with beautiful views of the surrounding forests and mountains.
The caravan is equipped with a gas stove and a dry toilet. It has water and electricity. An outdoor shower will be available.
You'll live close to my 3 kids aged 9, 7 and 5, when they are with their mother and I live 10 minutes by car from there. I'll be joining you with or without kids to enjoy a nice barbecue or jam session with more friends.
There is a small shop with all the essentials 30 min by foot and 10 minutes by car. Supermarkets and all kinds of shops in Torrelavega can be reached in 15 to 20 minutes by highway. Santander is around 30 minutes away. There are plenty of workshops, concerts and events in the area for you to join. I usually join jam sessions, open microphone and personal growth related events. With my friends we regularly have some party or gathering where we dance until exhausted and there is the possibility to organize one by the caravan.
My plan is to make improvements on the property to make it more comfortable for living: a stone path, better rain water drainage on the land, parking lot, planting bushes and fruit trees, etc... I'm looking for someone with experience in general garden tasks and tasks like grass cutting. Sometimes I will do tasks with you and others I'd like you to be autonomous and proactive. Food and consumables apart from gas will not be provided.
You will have plenty of time by yourself but when spending time together, me and my kids will be happy to learn about your culture, crafts, skills, filósofo, spirituality or just laugh together.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We're surrounded by wild nature but close to the highway. Deer and other wild animals are quite easy to spot. Most of the time the place is very quiet. I'm a musician, so there can be lots of musical exchange. There are many kinds of events in the area which like festivals, concerts, markets and workshops.

They taught me about Spanish culture and Slovakian culture. My job is taking care of the children and tending the apples. Children are very energetic and happy.
