Description
I am a Registered Nurse from Liverpool, and have lived in Spain for 6 years now. I'm chilled, happy and friendly.
You have your own room and new bathroom downstairs. I provide all meals and snacks. I can take you to places of interest in the area, with a little notice.
You are also expected to share the cooking and stack dishwasher/clean up after meals.
I don’t smoke or take drugs. It's ok if you smoke (on the terrace).
I don't have any animals or pets.
If you have reviews or people you have volunteered with in the past I can chat to, I am more likely to agree to you coming to stay. We will have a video conversation and you can ask as many questions as you need.
If you have dietary needs or allergies, please let me know and I will see what we can do.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Salobreña is a coastal town in Granada. It’s lively in the summer and quiet in the winter.
The house is just a 5-minute walk from the beach and town centre.
You can enjoy peace and quiet or immerse yourself in local Spanish life. There is a cultural centre and a library nearby, with plenty of cafés, bars, supermarkets, and social events.
The town has weekly markets, rastros, and a monthly eco-market.
Granada, Málaga, and Almería are all easy to reach by bus.
I also have a car and can take you to nearby places with a little notice.
When I’m home, I often travel to Órgiva for yoga.
Help
I’m looking for people with basic DIY skills to help with projects around the house-scraping plaster from some crumbly walls, touching up plaster, cleaning, organising draws/cupboards, cleaning storage room, painting walls, looking after plants,
You will work mostly on your own. I may join you for larger projects.
Sometimes I’m away for a few days at a time working.
