Description
Hello! My name is Nicolas, I am an archaeologist and this is my personal little project. I started it alone (for a short time) and then with my partner Carmen, sadly she is no longer here. The house is located in a province of empty Spain, in Soria, in the town of Valdegeña and is currently finished.
We are in charge of doing all the work, without help from experts but with some of our friends. I rely on my knowledge (I occasionally worked as a bricklayer) and I try to learn more on a daily basis. In addition to the house, I am putting an old vegetable garden into operation so I can supply myself. There is still some small tasks to be done in the garden, guests will be able to learn how to do it under my tutelage

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As a host I hope to receive help and interest in my sustainable and environmentally friendly way of life. I want to be able to share interests in this regard with my guests. My guests will receive my full attention from me, and I will be able to teach them all my knowledge in a multitude of trades.
I am also particularly interested in doing a language exchange, I want to improve my level of English.
I am also interested in doing a real cultural exchange, getting to know the rhythms of life of people from other places, their interests, their concerns and their culture.
Como anfitrión espero recibir ayuda e interés en mi estilo de vida sostenible y respetuoso con el medio ambiente. Quiero poder compartir intereses en este sentido con mis huéspedes. Mis huéspedes recibirán toda mi atención por mi parte, y podré enseñarles todos mis conocimientos en una multitud de oficios (construcción ecológica, carpintería, fontanería, electricidad...)
Además tengo un especial interés en realizar un intercambio de idiomas, quiero mejorar mi nivel de inglés.
También estoy interesado en realizar un verdadero intercambio cultural, conocer los ritmos de vida de aquellas personas procedentes de otros lugares, sus intereses, sus preocupaciones y su cultura
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.
