  Description

  Single mom living her dream on the Spanish cost. Homeschooled daughter 5 years, Czech origins, need sun and sea to be happy so we moved out here last year :)
  
  We love discovering new places, museums, theatre, art, music, hikes, the beach, trips to surrounding cities and villages, we loooove ferias and we love quite time in nature or reading books. You are more than welcome to join us for all of these activities. Btw we don't have TV (but we do have a piano!)
  
  You will need a car, it is 7 minutes drive to the nearest beach and buses are terrible (very low frequency and never on schedule), walking to the beach in summer heat is nearly impossible as we live up the hill so best if you rent a car/scooter/bike for your stay.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a small, open-minded family led by a single mom who homeschools her child and values a calm, healthy lifestyle.
  
  We enjoy cooking healthy meals, spending time outdoors, and driving around to visit small villages nearby to experience local traditions and simple Spanish life. We love learning about other cultures and hearing stories from different parts of the world, and we’re always happy to share our culture as well.
  
  If you enjoy meaningful conversations, simple living, exploring local places, and being part of family life, you will feel very welcome here.

  Help

  Small tasks around the house or play time with my girl, to help me manage life better while working from home.
  
  Practical skills in home improvement would be greatly appreciated, as the place does need some light renovation and minor repairs. Nothing too demanding, currently we need to repair the silicone joints in the bathroom and fix a window blind.
  
  What I would really appreciate is to learn to cook some vegan gluten free meals and some practical tips for balcony gardening!
  
  There is also a possibility for accommodation only (without meals) and just an hour or 2 of help Monday-Friday if you'd like to earn some extra money for yourself in hospitality for example (many bars are seeking help for the high season).

  Accommodation

  A bedroom with own bathroom, shared kitchen and living room with a balcony with an amazing view , sunrise (and moonrise) above the mountains, leaves me speechless every single time
  
  Fresh fruits and vegetables from a local market every Wednesday, we mostly cook vegan/vegetarian foods, new recipes mostly welcome! We would probably share cooking responsibilities and eat together, but I am open to any other arrangements upon agreement.
  
  Breakfasts provided, the rest upon agreement

  What else ...

  To rent a car is the best option, but buses do come here, just the schedule is a bit, well Spanish :) Pick up from Malaga possible of course, you are welcome to spend all the time with us or just the minimum and enjoy the rest separately, I just need a bit of help as working single mom and I happen to have a spare bedroom, so why not this way!
