    Description

    Hello there! My name is Olmo, and i am fixing a 1.000 years old medieval town in the center of Catalonia where I want to develop a few different projects:

    1. Ancestral Warriors: A place to practice Traditional Martial Arts and Spirituality (Yoga retreats, Chi Kung, and others)

    2. Guardians of the Wild: A reforestation and wildlife protection center (Animal rescue)

    3. The Wild Breeze Ranch: A long-trip adventure center through the Pyrenees on horseback.

    The projects are still not running, but we're working on them!

    The place is stunningly beautiful. Based on flat landscapes with incredible sunsets, all around is cropfields and nature, with the first neighbors & towns 5 kilometers away. But it is also well connected to the nearest city with all commodities only 10 kilometers away.

    I am currently living alone, but there is another friend of mine from Australia that lives here and now it's traveling around Europe. So we have a single room and a double room for this coming spring & summer!

    As for the conditions and working hours, I cannot cover food expenses, so I offer ONLY accommodation in exchange of 2,5h (two and half hours) of work 5 days a week. I'm pretty flexible too so as the "daily hours" are low, we can organize some full working days and to then have 3-4 or more free days to travel around, and the "5 working days" don't always have to be from Monday to Friday, so we can talk and organize to see how we combine better as we go :)
