    Description

    In the center of the Guadalhorce Valley, and a short walk from Villafranco del Guadalhorce where I grew up, is "habitarNos", my little piece of heaven.
    7 years ago I moved to this field that my father had abandoned and I arranged the house in a farm implement of about 6m by 4m. We have 7000 m2 of clayey land in which we have tried to recover the trees that were there with permaculture and we have planted another 70, in the style of a "Noah's ark". Basically we wanted to have a bit of food autonomy. In addition to a small orchard and garden, we have 2 dogs, 5 chickens, 1 cat and 3 ducks.
    I don't have a place to stay, so while I manage some caravan, it is necessary for the volunteers to come with their own vehicle to spend the night.


    En el centro del Valle del Guadalhorce, y a un paseo de Villafranco del Guadalhorce donde me crié, se encuentra "habitarNos", mi cachito de cielo. Hace 7 años que me mudé a este campo que tenía mi padre abandonado y arreglé la casa en un apero de labranza de unos 6m por 4m. Tenemos 7000 m2 de tierra arcillosa en la que hemos tratado de recuperar con permacultura los árboles que había y hemos plantado otros 70, al estilo de un "arca de Noé". Básicamente queríamos tener un poco de autonomía alimentaria. Además de un pequeño huerto y jardín, tenemos 2 perros, 5 gallinas, 1 gata y 3 patos.
    No tengo sitio para alojar por lo que mientras me agencio una caravana, es necesario que los voluntarios vengan con su propio vehículo para pernoctar.
    Creo que es un sitio precioso a 1 km de un pueblo de 150 casas más bonito aún.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I dedicate myself to caring. My activisms are humble and close: I am an environmentalist by conviction and an unmitigated feminist. I meditate daily and help my environment to be a little more aware that we are One. Basically I understand the world from respect, compassion and love to the one in front and to the nature that welcomes us.
    I manage in English and German but I can learn other languages.


    Yo me dedico a cuidar. Mis activismos son humildes y de cercanía: soy ecologista por convencimiento y feminista sin paliativos. Medito a diario y ayudo a que mi entorno sea un poco más consciente de que somos Uno. Básicamente entiendo el mundo desde el respeto, la compasión y el amor al de enfrente y a la naturaleza que nos acoge.
    Me defiendo en inglés y alemán, y estoy dispuesta a aprender otro idioma

    The volunteer will have their own sleeping vehicle and will use our shared bathroom while we build the outside toilet.
    The little or much of the orchard and the fruit trees are at your disposal, but I do not offer maintenance. However, I have space to carry out conscious activities with groups (yoga, Kap, reiki, dance, music) that the volunteer could use in exchange for their work


    El/ la voluntari@u propio vehículo cama y usará nuestro baño compartido mientras construimos el aseo exterior.
    Lo poco o mucho del huerto y los frutales están a su disposición, pero no ofrezco manutención. Sin embargo tengo espacio para realizar actividades conscientes con grupos ( yoga, Kap, reiki, danza, musica) que el voluntario podría utilizar a cambio de su trabajo.

    Vivo en el campo, pero tengo lo que llaman "la fibra rural" , es satelite, dicen que es lo mejor si no hay fibra de verdad. A mi solo me falla a veces cuando llueve. I live in the countryside, but I have what they call "rural fiber", it's satellite, they say it's the best if there's no real fiber. It only fails me sometimes when it rains.
