    Description

    Hello! My name is Nicolas, I'm an archaeologist, and this is my small personal project. I started it alone (for a short time) and then with my partner Carmen, who sadly is no longer with us. The house is located in a remote part of Spain, in the province of Soria, in the village of Valdegeña, and it's now finished.

    We did all the work ourselves, without the help of experts but with some of our friends. I'm relying on my own knowledge (I've worked as a bricklayer before) and trying to learn more every day. In addition to the house, I'm restoring an old vegetable garden to provide for myself. There are still a few small tasks to be done in the garden, and guests can learn to do them under my guidance.

    ¡Hola! Mi nombre es Nicolas, soy arqueólogo y este es mi pequeño proyecto personal. Lo comencé sola (por poco tiempo) y luego con mi pareja Carmen, lamentablemente ya no está. La casa está situada en una provincia de la vacia España, en Soria, en el pueblo de Valdegeña y actualmente está terminada.

    Nosotros nos encargamos de hacer todo el trabajo, sin ayuda de expertos pero con algunos de nuestros amigos. Me baso en mis conocimientos (en ocasiones trabajé como albañil) y trato de aprender más día a día. Además de la casa, estoy poniendo en funcionamiento un antiguo huerto para poder abastecerme. Aún quedan algunas pequeñas tareas por hacer en el jardín, los huéspedes podrán aprender a hacerlo bajo mi tutela.

    Help

    I need people who want to help me in my daily life, in a country house, in a sparsely populated but welcoming region. The construction of the house is finished, I have various tasks, the cultivation of the vegetable garden, the maintenance of the fruit trees, the fencing of the mass. Other daily tasks such as the preparation of firewood, the canning of garden products...

    Life will be in a community, the work shared equally. The aim is to cooperate and do projects together, without differences. I will try to do my best to make the stay of those interested pleasant and enriching.

    I am also looking for the company of people who wish to have interesting conversations about life and the world today. I will be happy to give you a warm welcome, as well as show you around, take you on walks and excursions and try the local cuisine.

    Necesitó gente que quiera colaborar en mi día a día, en el de una casa de campo, en una región despoblada pero acogedora. La construcción de la casa está finalizada, tengo diversas tareas, el cultivo de la huerta, el mantenimiento de los árboles frutales, el vallado de la misa. Otras tareas cotidianas como la preparación de leña, el embotado de productos de la huerta...

    La vida será en comunidad, los trabajos repartidos en igualdad. Se busca cooperar y trabajar juntos, sin diferencias. Procuraré esforzarme al máximo para que la estancia de aquellos interesados sea grata y enriquecedora.

    También busco la compañía de personas que deseen tener conversaciones interesantes sobre la vida y el mundo actual. Estaré encantada de darles una cálida bienvenida, así como de mostrarles los alrededores, llevarlos a paseos y excursiones y probar la gastronomía local.
