    Description

    Hi, I’m Claudia. I live with my partner in a house surrounded by the sea,nature, with a large garden and a greenhouse that we take care of little by little.

    We share our home with three dogs, one cat, two ducks, two chickens and seven rabbits that live freely in the garden, so this is a very special place for people who love animals and outdoor life. The area is quiet and peaceful, ideal for slowing down, connecting with nature and enjoying simple daily routines.

    I enjoy creative, hands-on projects around the house and garden, and I value a calm, respectful and friendly atmosphere. For me, Workaway is about cultural exchange, collaboration and sharing everyday life, not just helping with tasks. If you enjoy nature, animals and a relaxed environment, you’ll probably feel at home here.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The area is quiet and close to nature, with easy access to the coast and beautiful outdoor spots. I’m a surfer, and I’m happy to share surf sessions together when conditions are good, as well as show you the local beaches and surroundings.

    Social activities are simple and natural: sharing meals, spending time in the garden, going for walks, surfing together, and connecting with local life at a relaxed pace. You’ll be able to spend time with me, my partner, and the animals, and feel part of daily life here.

    I can share knowledge about gardening, plant care, creative projects, and conscious, simple living. In exchange, I love learning from people from different cultures, hearing new perspectives, and exchanging skills, ideas, and ways of life.

    Help

    I would like some help with a few improvements around the garden and the house. I’m looking for extra hands to help on these projects together.

    The tasks include helping in the garden, small repairs on my wooden cabin, painting the greenhouse, and closing it properly to keep animals and too much water out.

    If you have some knowledge of botany or carpentry, that’s always a plus and a great opportunity to share and expand skills together. No special skills are required—just motivation, care, and enjoying working outdoors in a calm environment.
