Description
Hello, my name is Sylvia, live with my 2 cats and 2 dogs in an old farm building surrounded by fields. 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 to Bilbao.
The very old farmhouse is also always in need of some repair. Depending on your skills and interest there might be something I can teach during the restauration process. Maybe you wish to help and learn with garden tasks.

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 and drawing. I am looking forward to getting to know people with different skills and ideas and hope we can inspire each other.
Help
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 maximum stay is one week and can be extended if we find enough things to do.
