    Description

    Hello everyone! We are a young and active family consisting of Vicent, Noèlia, Lúa (a 1-year-old girl), and our pets (Rumba, Shiro, Bonito, the chickens, and the ducks). We live in a country house in a rural setting, surrounded by a protected nature reserve, just a 500-meter walk from the beach. We are nestled between two towns, with tranquil beaches and great hiking trails :) For me, it's a little paradise. Our house is full of life. We share our daily lives with our dog, two cats, and our beloved chickens and ducks. We love the peaceful rhythm of the countryside but also enjoy the energy of the sea. We are looking for someone respectful, proactive, and willing to join our family for a while. We are currently renovating our house and are looking for enthusiastic people who would like to help us with various improvement and sustainability projects. The tasks are varied and depend on the season, but mainly consist of: Maintenance and DIY: Painting, simple wall preparation (filling small cracks), and helping with DIY projects such as refurbishing wooden floors or using natural materials. Garden: Seasonal tasks in our organic garden, such as sowing, weeding, and harvesting. Bioconstruction Projects: We are very excited about our bioconstruction projects. We want to rebuild the chicken coop and create a dry toilet (composting system) following permaculture principles. It's an ideal opportunity for those who want to learn about sustainable building. We are looking for someone with a positive attitude who enjoys the outdoors and a peaceful life. There's always something to learn or a conversation to share! We are offering to help us for 3.5 hours a day, including breakfast and lunch. Since we have a young child, we go to bed early, so everyone would be responsible for their own dinner. Breakfast and lunch: communal; we all provide and cook together. Dinner: you're in charge. Our space is smoke-, alcohol-, and drug-free. We're eager to share and grow together. Feel free to ask us any questions. Hugs and see you soon!

    ¡Hola a todos y todas!

    Hola! Somos una familia joven y activa compuesta por Vicent, Noèlia, Lúa (niña de 1 año) y nuestros animalitos (Rumba, Shiro, Bonito, las gallinas y los patos). Vivimos en una casa de campo, en un entorno rural, rodeados de reserva natural protegida que se encuentra a solo 500 metros caminando de la playa. Estamos al medio de dos pueblos, playas tranquilas y caminatas profundas :) Para mi un pequeño paraiso.

    Nuestra casa está llena de vida. Compartimos el día a día con nuestro perro, dos gatos y nuestras queridas gallinas y patos. Nos encanta el ritmo tranquilo del campo, pero disfrutamos de la energía del mar. Buscamos a alguien respetuoso, proactivo y que quiera integrarse en nuestra dinámica familiar por un tiempo.
    Estamos inmersos en la restauración de nuestra casa y buscamos personas entusiastas que quieran echarnos una mano con diversos proyectos de mejora y sostenibilidad.

    Las tareas son muy variadas y dependen de la temporada, pero principalmente consisten en:

    Mantenimiento y DIY: Pintar, preparar paredes de forma sencilla (tapar pequeñas grietas) y ayudarnos en proyectos de bricolaje como la adecuación de suelos de madera o materiales naturales.

    Huerto: Tareas de temporada en nuestro huerto ecologico, como sembrar, quitar malas hierbas o recolectar.

    Proyectos bioconstrucción Tenemos mucha ilusión con nuestros proyectos de bioconstrucción. Queremos reconstruir el gallinero y crear un baño seco (compostero) siguiendo principios de permacultura. Es una oportunidad ideal para quienes quieran aprender sobre construcción sostenible.

    Buscamos a alguien con actitud positiva, que disfrute del aire libre y de la vida tranquila. ¡Aquí siempre hay algo que aprender o una charla que compartir!

    La propuesta que ofrecemos es ayudarnos 3h y media al dia por desayuno y comida al mediodia. Al tener una niña pequeña nosotros nos vamos a dormir pronto, entonces la cena cada uno se lo gestionaria.
    Desayuno y comida: comunitario nosotros la ponemos y cocinamos entre todos
    Cena: Vosotros os encargáis

    Nuestro espacio es libre de humos, alcohol y drogas.
    Con muchas ganas de compartir y crecer juntos. Cualquier duda nos podéis preguntar.

    Un abrazo y hasta pronto
