    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our way of expressing emotions and showing what the island has to offer is through food and dishes, their colours, textures and aromas …

    We like to cook with natural products from the island, some of which we grow ourself on the finca in Los Valles. We would like to pass on this energy of the island to our guests.

    Looking for someone around October 21–28

    At the end of October, we will be away for one week and are looking for a friendly and reliable Workawayer who would be happy to help take care of our animals while we are away.

    Ideally, we would love someone who can stay with us for a little longer than just that week, especially for a few days before we leave, so there is enough time to get to know us, our home and, most importantly, our animals.

    You would not be completely on your own: a good friend of ours will also be staying at the house while we are away. However, he works during the week, so we are mainly looking for someone who can support with the animals during the day and make sure they are well cared for.

    You will have your own private guest apartment, so you will have plenty of space and privacy. Couples are very welcome too.

    For us, the most important thing is to find someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals and feels comfortable taking responsibility for them while we are away.

    We have a small farm ( for growing organic vegetables for ourself) and we are planning a permaculture project at a ground nearby the Farm.

    Accommodation

    We live in a old Farm house. It's simple but cosy. In five minutes walking distance we have a small guest house for the Workawayer with own bathroom and kitchen. We are used to cook for a big family so you are always invited to eat or dine with us.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Lanzarote is a Island with a very special energy and a lot of beautiful spots to see. Los Valles is in the mountains. Very good for hiking or cycling. We are working in Arrecife so we can always give a lift to other places on the island. There is a Busstation nearby, but it's not a frequently connection.
