  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. My kids (21 & 18) come to visit sometimes.
  I just bought a big house (6 bedrooms) and a 2 hectare terrain where I will be doing Animal Assisted Therapy with my horses
  
  I would be very thankful for anybody who can lend a hand or two! After the first year 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, etc.
  
  You will have your own room, in the same house where I am staying, 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.
  
  Since there are already animals in the house, we should talk about your pets, if you have any, and see if they are compatible. Oh, and strictly non-smokers, please.
  
  Looking forward to hearing from you soon :D

  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 ;-)
  I´ll be glad to help you get around. I go to the beach in the week-ends myself (to play volleyball), so you are more than welcome to come along.

  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.
