    Description

    A couple of a Spanish and an Italian who live quietly in Menorca with. We live in a house in the country, without public transport to get there. The house is in the north of the island, near beaches and spectacular places. The house has an apartment for the guests, so they can have privacy.

    We have an 80 square meter house in the middle of the forest, near the Mahon-Fornells road. Our land is 1000 square meters, with a steep slope. We love living in Menorca because it is a quiet place and you can enjoy nature. We have the project of buying a boat to enjoy the sea.


    *** In these days, we need very specific help, and we will wait for workawayers who want to help in short periods (could be holidays or weeks): small construction repairs, gardening, painting, taking care of our small dog. We provide accommodation (no transport, no food). ***

    Somos una pareja de un Español y una Italiana que viven tranquilos en Menorca. Vivimos en una casa en el campo, sin transporte público para llegar.

    La casa está en el norte de la isla, cerca de playas y lugares espectaculares. La casa tiene un apartamento para los invitados, para que puedan tener privacidad. Tenemos una casa de 80 metros cuadrados en medio del bosque, cerca de la carretera de Mahon-Fornells. Nuestro terreno es de 1000 metros. Nos encanta vivir en Menorca porque es un sitio tranquilo y se puede disfrutar de la naturaleza.

    La casa queda aislada y sin posibilidad de transporte público. Nosotros vamos y venimos todos los días a Mahón pero en un horario muy específico.

    *** Por ahora estamos necesitando ayuda muy específica, y estaremos a la espera de workawayers que quieran ayudar en periodos cortos (pueden ser vacaciones, puentes o semanas) para: pequeñas reparaciones de la construcción, jardinería, pintura, cuidado de nuestro pequeño perro. Proporcionamos alojamiento (sin transporte, sin comida). ***

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can stay at home and we can show the island to the visitors. We can also exchange language ... We are interested in learning English and we can teach Spanish, Italian and Catalan.

    Another important thing is to have people who know how to do maintenance and gardening. Artists are also welcome, for example we have some logs that we would like to sculpt.

    Help

    We need people who are willing to come for short periods to take care of our dog while we travel. They will be short periods such as weekends, long weekends...

    If we can share other projects, much better. It would be incredible if you came when we were here and shared a few days at the house before helping with the dog.

    He is a small and calm dog. He just needs to be fed and walked a few times.


    ****We need help to maintain the house and to do things in the garden. For example, put up a fence or cut tree branches.****

    Necesitamos ayuda para el mantenimiento de la casa y para ir haciendo cosas en el jardin/huerto. Por ejemplo poner un cercado o cortar ramas de arboles.
