    LOOKING FOR A PERSON OR TWO PEOPLE
    =================
    Hi, this is Xanhe speaking. I live in the countryside of Galiza with three friends, Itxi, Nacho and Abdlmoghit and two dogs, Xaxa and Golfo.

    Our house is called a do Gardarrios, and we six live here. We work in different things, but we share this project of living together and looking after each other. Or at least we try our best!

    We are restoring the basement of the house, where Moghit lives at the moment, and we have plans for the spring to come to work on the gardens again after the winter.

    We cook vegan food for the common meals, although not everybody of us are vegan.

    To talk a bit about us residents:

    I, Xanhe, have a musical project, O Rabelo, and I play electronic and tradicional music, rap and sing. I also work making improvissation workshops in schools and some other season jobs that come up.

    Itxi has a project of investigation and disclosure about queer and crip theory, writes books and do talks about disability and anti-ableism.

    Nacho works in seasonal jobs and has an interest on drawing and writing.

    Abdlmoghit is looking for a job at the moment.

    Xaxa is a 10 year old dog that loves to hide under the sofa blankets and smell all around.

    Golfo is a 8 year old dog that loves cuddles.

    We are looking for nice people who'd want to come, visit and help around in the house!

    At the moment in february it will be few people at home, Xanhe and Abdlmoghit, and Itxi some days, as Nacho is away this month.
    The main task are walk the dogs (they go out two times a day) cook and keep the house.
    Also, every week we have different tasks such as make wood for fire, work at the vegetable garden and restore the house.
    It's a bit up to what we decide together, but it'd be around 2-3 h a day of work (dog walks, housekeeping and different tasks).
