  Description

  Hello Workawayers!
  
  I'm Jordi, Spanish (Catalan), 48 years old. I have a 17-year-old daughter who comes to our house some days a week. We've lived in a farmhouse in the middle of the forest for almost 5 years, surrounded by nature and tranquility. It's a home, not a business. I work outside in the mornings, and it would be great to have someone at home to help us take care of the garden, making firewood, the vegetable patch, the animals (we have dogs, chickens, and cats), and the house. It's an incredible place, full of tranquility.
  I don't have a Facebook page or a website. It's so peaceful surrounded by nature in a family atmosphere.
  The cultural exchange, the conversation, and sharing meals with the volunteers in the garden or around the fire are a pleasure. Getting to know other cultures and people from all over the world, showing them our culture and ways of life.
  On weekends, people often come over to our house and play board games, etc.
  
  I'd like to find someone who'd like to do long-term volunteering.
  It's a very quiet place, and there's always a good atmosphere, as you can read in the people's descriptions.
  People from all over the world have stayed at our house, of many nationalities, and it's always a pleasure to meet new people. I look forward to seeing you!

  Hola família!
  
  Soy Jordi, español (catalan) tengo 48 años. Tengo una hija de 17 que viene a casa algunos dias. Hace casi 5 años que vivimos en una masia en medio del bosque, rodeado de naturaleza y tranquilidad. Es una casa, no es un negocio. Yo trabajo fuera por las mañanas, y nos iría bien tener a alguien en casa para ayudarnos con cuidado del jardin, hacer leña, huerto, animales (tenemos perros, gallinas, gatos), y la casa. Es un sitio increible, lleno de tranquilidad.
  No tengo facebook ni pagina web. Mucha tranquilidad en medio de la naturaleza en un ambiente familiar.
  El intercambio cultural , el charlar, compartir cenas con los voluntarios en el jardin o alrededor del fuego es un placer. Conocer otras culturas y gente de todo el mundo, mostrarles Nuestra cultura y forms de vivir.
  Los fines de semana suele pasar gente por casa y se juega a juegos de mesa, etc...
  
  Me gustaria encontrar a alguien que le apeteciese hacer un voluntariado de larga estancia.
  Es un sitio muy tranquilo y siempre hay buen ambiente como podeis leer en las descripciones de la gente.
  Ha pasado gente de medio mundo por casa, de muchas nacionalidades y es un placer conocer gente nueva siempre. Os espero!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I will welcome you in a privileged place in the middle of nature, in Montseny. No neighbors, no noise and no pollution. I offer them lodging and that they can eat whatever is at home, apart from being able to show them the area.
  There will be all kinds of food in the house, from things from the garden that I am going to put, vegetables, eggs, meat, etc. They can eat and cook whatever they want. It can be eaten all together or individually, as you prefer.

  Help

  You'll need to help with garden maintenance, cleaning the chicken coop, outdoor living, collecting firewood for the winter, etc.
  
  Domestic help is also welcome.
  
  Now that the weather is nice, I'm looking forward to sharing conversations and meeting people from other countries to learn about their culture, cuisine, etc. I previously stayed at a rural house where we hosted Workawayers, and it was a great experience sharing dinners and conversations with strangers.

  Hay que colabotar en el mantenimiento del huerto, limpiado de gallinero, exteriores, recoger leña para el invierno, etc..
  
  Tambien seran bienvenidas la ayudas domesticas .
  
  Ahora con el buen tiempo me apetece compartir charlas y conocer gente de otros paises para enriquecerme de su cultura, cocina, etc. Antes estuve en una casa rural donde acogiamos Workawayers y fue una experiencia genial compartir cenas y charlas con gente desconocida.
