    Description

    Hello Workawayers! I need someone to stay with me for the month of June. Who's up for it? Maybe someone for a longer stay beyond June, too.

    I am Jordi, Spanish (Catalan), 48 years old,. I have a 16-year-old daughter who comes to my house some days. We have been living in a farmhouse in the middle of the forest, surrounded by nature and tranquility, for 4 years. It is a house, not a business. I work outside in the mornings, and it would be good for us to have someone at home to do the outdoor maintenance work, gardening, firewood, vegetable garden, animals (we have dogs, chickens, cats), and maybe also interior work (painting, etc.). It is an incredible place, full of tranquility.
    I don't have Facebook or a website. Lots of tranquility in the middle of nature in a family environment.
    The cultural exchange, the chatting, sharing dinners with the volunteers in the garden or around the fire is a pleasure.
    On weekends people usually come to the house and play board games, etc...

    I would like to find someone who would like to volunteer in May-June-July
    It is a very quiet place and there is always a good atmosphere as you can read in the descriptions of the people.
    People from all over the world have come to the house, of many nationalities and it is always a pleasure to meet new people. We look forward to seeing you!

    Hola workawayers! Necesito a alguien para el mes de junio en casa, quien se anima? Quizá también alguien de larga estancia más allà de junio, se puede mirar.

    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 hacer los trabajos de exteriores de mantenimiento, jardineria, hacer leña, huerto, animales (tenemos perros, gallinas, gatos), y quizá también de interiores (pintura, etc..). 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.
    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!

    I have moved to a masia (farm) in the middle of the forest on the Costa del Montseny. I want to prepare a garden, ballar it, make firewood, raise chickens, I have a dog, and I work in the mornings. I'm interested in hosting someone for a few days to get everything going. Prepare the chicken coop, make firewood for the winter, ballar the garden, weed, clean the surroundings of the farmhouse. You also have to paint the house inside, the rooms attached to the house, cook, ...
    I want to meet people from other countries to enrich myself with their culture, cuisine, etc. Before I was in a rural house where we welcomed Workawayers and it was a great experience to share dinners and talks with strangers.

    Hay que hacer el mantenimiento del huerto, limpiado de gallinero, exteriores, recoger leña para el invierno, etc..

    Tambien seran bienvenidas la ayudas domesticas en limpieza, cocina, pequeños arreglos.

    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.
