    Hello Everybody, with my sister we have a farmland and a lot of projects on it !
    We want to plant trees, vegetables, build some constructions like an earth house, a little kitchen, a bathroom, a greenhouse, build fences...
    We also have to depollute and clean it because a lot of wastes were stored by the previous owners...

    We are looking for flexible people who can help us around 5hours per day in exchange of accommodation and food.
    The accommodation will be basic, in an earth house already build by us, or in a truck (camper-van).
    Hot water will be there for shower. Kitchen with gaz, filtered water to drink. Wifi is not here but I will share my mobile phone's data. The place is a bit remote (1km from the village) and we have solar panels for electricity. Bicycles will be providing and supermarket is like 15 minutes away. Nice beaches 20 minutes. You will have to help us 5days a week 5 hours per days and food will be providing 6days a week. I am looking for people who can cook basics foods, mostly vegetarian. You will have to cook lunch or dinner (in your 5hours of help).
    Saturday and Sunday free. On Sunday you will have to buy your own food.

    Woodworking skills or every type of construction skills people are very welcome.
    Please remember that sometime the tasks will be physically hard and we will also have to wake up early. However the place is interesting, you are in a nice farmland between the Mediterranean sea and the beautiful mountains of Pyrenees.
    My favorite hobby is paragliding, so I will be very happy to host others pilots.
    we could also go for some trekking, swimming, climbing, slackline...
    We are very exited to host people from all over the world and make them feel at home
    These 3 lasts years I had done a big amount of volunteering with "workaway" or "helpx"(as a volunteer) so I really hope you will have a very good experience with my family and our projects.
    Can Accommodate 2or3 people.
    2 weeks minimum.

    Thank you and see you soon !
