    Description

    ✨🦚 My main dream is to keep turning the land I call home into a safe and welcoming sanctuary, where life flows in harmony and there’s space to enjoy the simple things.
    🙌 Over the years I’ve learned a lot from the animals I share my home with , their little personalities, moods, and ways of being. Living together with ducks, turkeys, sheep, and a handful of little dogs has been a whole adventure! Sharing this lifestyle with you is going to be special, just keep in mind that I’m still figuring things out, probably just like you 😉.
    🧘‍♀️ I also have some morning routines I’m working on to start the day in a better flow, I mention them briefly in the Tasks section.

    📅 Minimum length of stay 10 days.

    🫖🍴✨ A tidy kitchen invites peace and makes cooking fun and joyful for everyone 😉✨

    Accommodation

    ⛺ We have a tent for one person or a couple, with pillow and blankets. Our garden is big enough for you to pick your own sunny spot to greet the day 🌞🌿.
    🏠 We also have a modest indoor room with a bed under the roof 🛏️ — the space may be shared if there’s another volunteer staying.
    🚿 Hot shower available with a shared schedule — please bring your own towels.
    🧺 Laundry is done by hand 🖐️ — don’t forget to bring your favorite detergent 🧴.

    🍳 Kitchen is shared - I coordinate lunch tasks depending on who’s home — helps keep things fun and smooth.
    •I will provide basic ingredients (vegan/ vegetarian: rice, oats, lentils, beans, pasta, seasonal fruit and vegetables) so YOU CAN PREPARE YOUR DAILY MEALS
    •🫴🏾 3 meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner. (5 days a week)
    •👉🏽 Days off, I offer ingredients only for desayuno☕️🥪 (2 days a week)

    👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 Want to bake something special for yourself — maybe a little cake 🍰 or your favorite treat?
    You’re more than welcome to use the kitchen, gas, and electricity. Just BRING UR OWN ingredients and be kind with the shared supplies. Small shops are on our street for everyday items, and bigger stores are close by for anything extra you might need.

    📆 Minimum length of stay 10 days.
    (Between the 7th or 8th we can talk about extending the stay if both parties are happy)

    🫰🏽I’m excited to host proactive and friendly guests! It would be wonderful if we could all keep the living guidelines in mind from the start, so everything flows smoothly without needing reminders.☺️

    🚌 It’s 35 minutes by public transportation (10 km to the city center). The area is quite populated, and if you are near the street during the day, you may hear traffic. But once you enter the house, the view feels like being in the countryside

    In addition to exchanging knowledge and experiences while working on the project at home, I also want you to enjoy your free time independently and calmly... 😄 so, don't be afraid to spend ur "days off" sleeping 🤣🤭.
