Description
Hello!
My name is Yago, but my friends call me Boody (I’m Spanish, originally from Egypt, with a bit of Italian influence too 😄). I’m a software developer living in a cozy house in Lliria, near Valencia.
I love cooking, sharing meals, meeting people from different cultures, and creating meaningful experiences together. For me, hosting through Workaway is about human connection, learning from each other, and enjoying a slower, more mindful way of life.

🌿 About the experience
Besides helping with my orange field and home, I enjoy creating a peaceful environment where we can disconnect from daily stress and reconnect with ourselves.
From time to time, I organize small mindfulness evenings based on guided meditation, breathing exercises, silence, reflection, music, and meaningful conversations. These are informal moments shared with respect and openness, designed to help us slow down, appreciate nature, and enjoy the present moment.
The atmosphere is calm, friendly, and welcoming. If you enjoy simple living, self-reflection, and authentic cultural exchange, you’ll probably feel at home here.

🌳 About the project
I have a countryside orange field that I’m gradually transforming into a beautiful and relaxing place.
Tasks may include:
• Looking after the orange trees (watering and basic maintenance)
• Gardening and caring for plants
• Creating decorative mosaics (I’ll teach you!)
• Organizing outdoor spaces
• Light DIY and decoration projects
• General maintenance and keeping the place tidy
No experience is required—just a positive attitude, curiosity, and willingness to help.
⸻
🏡 What I offer
In exchange for around 25 flexible hours per week, I provide:
• Accommodation in a private tent on my terrace with your own private bathroom
• All meals included—we can cook together or I’ll cook for you or you cook form me :)
• A relaxed and respectful environment
• Two days off each week
When we have free time, we might visit Valencia, spend a day at the beach, explore nearby villages, or simply relax in the countryside.
I’m looking for open-minded, respectful people who appreciate nature, creativity, and genuine human connection.
I prefer not long term period
Looking forward to meeting you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Staying with me offers a unique cultural exchange experience. I am half Egyptian, half Spanish, with some Italian heritage as well. This blend of cultures is reflected in my home and lifestyle, providing a rich and diverse cultural environment.
1. **Culinary Diversity:** One of the best ways to experience a culture is through its food. I love cooking and can share with you a variety of dishes from Spanish, Egyptian, and Italian cuisines. We can cook together, and you’ll have the chance to learn recipes and cooking techniques from these different cultures.
2. **Language Exchange:** I speak Spanish and can help you practice if you are looking to improve your Spanish skills. Additionally, I can share some basics of Arabic and Italian. Language is a big part of culture, and this exchange can be a fun and educational experience.
3. **Exploring Local Culture:** With my motorcycle, I can take you around Valencia and Lliria, showing you local sights, festivals, and hidden gems that reflect the vibrant Spanish culture. You’ll have the opportunity to see how different cultures blend in this beautiful region.
4. **Cultural Traditions:** I can share stories and traditions from my Egyptian and Spanish backgrounds, and we can celebrate various cultural events together. This is a great opportunity to learn about different customs and ways of life.
I believe that cultural exchange is a two-way street, so I am also eager to learn about your culture and experiences. Together, we can create a rich and rewarding cultural exchange. -
Help
I’m looking for a friendly and easygoing Workawayer to help out with small tasks around the home. The main tasks include:
1. Cat care – Feeding, playing, and making sure my cat is happy.
2. Cleaning and organizing – Helping keep things tidy, sorting out spaces, and making the home more comfortable.
3. Creative projects – Occasionally refreshing spaces with decoration or small improvements (nothing major or specialised).
I also spend time in a small house in the countryside, about 15 minutes from Lliria (Olocau), surrounded by nature. While my main location is in Lliria, I sometimes go there for small projects and to take care of some chickens. If you enjoy nature, you’re welcome to join me there occasionally for a change of scenery. -

Yago made me feel at home and taught me a lot of new things.
He is great at cooking and when you need help he is always ready to lend a hand.
Was a very good experience, try to believe!!
