  Description

  Hello, my name is Sylvia, I am 50 years old and live with my 2 cats in an old farm building with 2000 m2 of land surrounded by horses and sheep. Walking up the mountain for 15 minutes you reach the nearby village which has a pub and small shop. There is a bus every two hours which takes you in less than an hour to Bilbao.
  
  At the moment we need mostly help with some carpentry and plumbing work. I would appreciate some help with the garden and making a fence around the garden. I am looking into natural fencing using the wood from the forest next to the land.
  The very old farmhouse is also always in need of some repair. Depending on your skills there might be something you could do.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  It would be great if we can exchange experiences and knowledge and learn from each other. I can teach yoga, painting/drawing, and macrame. I am looking forward to getting to know people with different skills and ideas and hope we can inspire each other.

  Help

  Most of the time there should be different types of help needed: some building work or simple carpentry work and maintenance of the land. I am also learning about bioconstructions and hope to start soon making cob walls. If you think you can contribute to any of the tasks, please get in touch.
  
  Unfortunately, I will not always be able to work with you or teach you something. You need to have some skills and be able to work independently.
  
  The maximum stay is one week and can be extended if we find enough things to do.
