Description
*** AS WE CURRENTLY RECEIVE MORE REQUESTS THAN WE ARE ABLE TO ANSWER, KINDLY ONLY WRITE TO US, IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE FOR 5 WEEKS OR MORE ***
We are living in the most beautiful part of Gozo, Malta. Right by the Cliffs. In the season - April till December - we work with our Freediving School we have here on the Island.
We were lucky enough to find a wonderful 300 year old farmhouse on the outskirts of Gozo to make our home, and being extremely busy creating our dream, we really need help with everyday tasks making ends meet in our home. We have holistic backgrounds and visions to better the future together.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Gozo is a small Island in the middle of the mediterranean sea. A great holiday destination for everyone, where nothing is far. Gozo has a very interesting history, and with its historic sites, architecture, culture, entertainment, unique nature, beaches and incredible snorkel and dive sites, Gozo has it all.
You will be given the opportunity to learn freediving from our skilled and experienced team of instructors. If you are a sea lover or if you like yoga and meditation, chances are you would love freediving and being in a 'freediving atmosphere'. You also have the possibility to learn how to use freediving equipment and, not to mention, learn about marine life with our local freedivers.
Good food and cooking is another thing we enjoy. Our cuisine is very international and includes a.o. Maltese, Mediterranean, Danish and Indian dishes. You will be able to taste and learn how to cook amazing cuisine. Both our home, the freediving center & B&B are hubs for meeting new people from all over the world, and thanks to the synchronicity between them and the fact that they are interlinked, you can learn and practice different languages and the possibilities of cultural exchange and making new friends are endless. :)
Help
Hi, We would like to invite happy, life loving and self-motivated people to be part of our family.
The help consists of general help, cleaning and daily maintenance in and around the house and the outside areas. We enjoy our home the most when it's tidy and clean and with a light and happy, heartfelt and warm atmosphere. Our 3 young cat-ladies, Frida, Sif and Mille contributes greatly to the lively, loving and relaxed atmosphere. ;)
The limestones the house is build from, are breathing, and the house is very old and charming. This is part of the charm.
Our days starts early (around 7am) preparing the house and surroundings for the day, creating a nice space and a nice atmosphere. No previous experience is required if you are a thorough, self motivated person with an eye for details, who also enjoys living in a clean and tidy home with a nice atmosphere.
If you are interested in freediving and snorkeling, we are inviting you to participate in the courses and activities we offer in our freediving centre, when time and space permits.
You will meet many people from around the world and the intercultural exchange is a great way to meet the whole world in our wonderful place by the cliffs. Especially the local community is very open and welcoming - we have, as foreigners and incomers, ourselves had great pleasure in participating in the many activities tha takes place all over Gozo.
We would like to give you the opportunity to try something quite unique, living in a 300 year old farmhouse, being part of our extended family, located in one of the worlds top dive sites. Learning freediving and volunteering with our team would be an unforgettable experience which may lead to other things, ocean related or community related.
