    Description

    Hi!
    Since five years me and my husand and our two sons are living in Gran Canary and have a little finca in the mountains near Santa Brigida.
    The finca has ca 2000m2 land and had a lot of fruittrees from before. I have planted a lot of new trees and am trying to also grow my own vedgetables.
    As I am at the moment very concentrated on my ceramic workshop I do not find enough time to care for the garden.

    It would be amazing to find people who can inspire and help us in the garden and who like to be around children (and animals.. we have alittle dog, two cats and chickens).
    The old horse stable is build as a guesthouse in which volunteers can stay.
    In our free time we love to play table games, jump on the trampoline, go on a mountain walk, do ceramics, go surfing or spend time at the beach.
    The nature around our finca is very diverse. There are a lot of nice hikes to the villages in the near.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We, as a family, have lived in Germany, Norway, The Netherlands and now in Gran Canaria, Spain. Further I have stayed one year as a Rotary Exchange Student in Japan. So in terms of languages and cultural background we can share a lot. Also we are very interested in getting to know new people from all around the world. We all have eternal worlds in us. Together we create new universes by good conversations.

    Help

    We would like you to join us in following areas:

    - caring for the trees
    - helping to grow vegetables
    - making fire wood


    The ideal situation would be to find a couple as we live quite remote and this way it wouldn't be so lonesome for you guys.
    Of cause we hope to spend cozy evenings together at the fire with good conversations and music but as the everyday school and working life often leaves us exhausted and we go to bed quite early.
