Description
Hi there!
I´m Laila. Originally danish, but have lived in Spain all my life, plus travelled here and there a bit.
I live with my dog, 2 cats and 5 horses. I bought a big house (6 bedrooms) and a 2 hectare terrain where I do Animal Assisted Therapy with my horses
I would be very thankful for anybody who can lend a hand or two! After two years of intense work, Jarana (the name of the house/project) is now ready to receive you if you have knowledge in electricity, building, painting, carpentry, gardening etc.
You will have your own room, in the same house where I live, which you may or may not, have to share with another volunteer. There are also two bathrooms, so that shouldn´t be a problem either. In the last year I have had over 50 volunteers staying at the house.
I expect you to share the cleaning/cooking, as you would in any other situation where you are living under the same roof with other people.
The house is just a 20 minute drive from Tarragona and its beaches. One hour from Barcelona city, which you should most definitely visit. You can find it in google maps under HESTING CLUB.
No pets nor smoking allowed. Thanks.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon :D
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Farmstay help
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will be just one hour away from Barcelona (by car), or 20 minutes drive to train station (Tarragona) from where you can go to Barcelona, the beaches, or even the Pyrenees.
Lots of interesting places to visit. Barcelona hardly needs a presentation ;-)
Help
The person I need is defenitely an allrounder. The help includes building, painting, putting up shelves, repairing bits of wall and building fences for the animals.
Send me a message and I will be more than glad to answer any questions you may have.
Please only apply if you are a non-smoker and have a driving license!
Languages

Spanish: Fluent
French: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
I speak Spanish, English, Danish, Catalan and German, but always interested in any other languages. I have studied some French too. There are normally Spanish speaking volunteers in the house.
Accommodation
You will have a private room in the main house. Also available is a private bathroom, which you may have to share if there is more than one workaway.
Breakfast and lunch is included (on working days), but you should cater for your own dinner and snacks.
What else ...
Ideal duration 2 or 3 weeks. 1 week is too little in order to show you everything and get into the job. By the time you know where everything is, it will be time to leave again! But if you can only stay for a week, we can make it happen too.
