  Description

  For the upcoming weeks there are one week opportunity for volunteers on their route around Galicia.
  Will be best if you have your own car or if you dont mind to live off the grid, the closest villa is around 3km not a safe walk on the road.
  If you accept this you are welcome!
  *READ UNTIL THE END*
  
  The property is surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers and there are plenty of wild-crafting opportunities and outdoor adventures to be had, including biking, hiking, swimming or surfing.
  I am an active, 41 year old Sports Instructor moved here from the Pyrenes where I was living the last five years with my own veggy garden, before that, I was living near Vancouver for three years, originally from Málaga.
  I am happy to share what I know about this beautiful area. I love sports, outdoors, garden and cooking.
  As a previous volunteer for years, I was traveling around the world, enjoying this opportunity from workaway.
  I started my own ecoproject to live simple in Galicia, 15/20 min by car to the most stunning beaches, one of the best surf spots in Spain, opportunity for people interested in this way of life, here you can learn to reuse materials, using your own energy from solar and water from rivers or springs.
  I am into Permaculture, self sufficiency, wilderness preservation, wild-crafting, composting, and appropriate use of technology, I believe in the power of positive thinking and creative visualization.
  I am grateful for the high quality of life I have and want to help people pursue and develop their passions. There is a lot of space for personal growth, creativity and fun.
  It is my intention to share this land with other friends, while preserving its beauty, as a top priority.

  Valdoviño is the closest beach only 15min by car, also nice town to visit and walk around the Lagoon, 20min to Pantin beach, one of the best factory waves, 30min to Cedeira or Coruña to visit one of the biggest fishermans city, 1 hour to Lugo and Big Mountains like “Los Ancares”, beaches like Valdoviño, San Jorge & Pantin are really nice surf spots, conexions like Ferrol and Coruña by bus or train are good.
