Description
After a dynamic childhood in Buenos Aires learning music, playing in bands and creating life long connections, I left for many years travel around the world, finally finding myself residing in beautiful sunny Spain for the long forseable future. As an avid ecologist and guerilla gardener, Im currently investing my energy into building a house overlooking an beautiful lake about an hour south of Valencia city in the heart of 'real Spain', where life is slow, steady and full of connection and vibrance - and of course surrounded by olive trees; lots and lots of olive trees.
We are based in the canal de Navarres, a water rich basin with rivers, waterfalls, agriculture and an incredibly lively spanish bar and restaurant scene. The tourism is low, however climbing and we are able to live and enjoy a true Spanish way of life, away from the likes of coastal resorts and continuous turnover of tourists. We live the slow life, the simple life, the good life.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I was born in Argentina to a french mom, so my native language is Spanish, but I would love also to exchange French and English. I've had the chance to live in many countries throughout the years and as a nature lover i've learnt how to work the land in different ecosystems and I've got a sweet tooth for exotic herbs/plants. I also like playing the piano.
Help
The opportunities vary from day to day and person to person. We have dogs, cats, chickens and often a plethora of other animals that we care for so walks and feeding times are always a daily pleasure. From painting and gardening to wood collection, there is always an endless list of things we wish to achieve. We also love to have outside input - if you think you can add to our idea collection we are all ears.

Accommodation
We offer several options. We have shared rooms in a large 400 year old house (with all modern conveniences) the opportunity to camp in your own tent or also we offer space for campervans/caravans.
Sustinence - We all need it - we should all take part in the creation of it. We offer a 'free for all' breakfast, and lunches and dinners are eaten together as a group. The lunches and dinners are prepared by different people on different days, allowing for everyone to enjoy the experience of cooking for the group. Its all decided on Mondays when we write the weeks rota.
What else ...
The location is a 20 minute hike from 2 waterfalls ( Chorradores), a 15 minute drive from natural springs , and a 2 minute walk from a big lake suitable for swimming, paddle boarding , kayaking and fishing. We live in a beautiful mountainous remote location away from the hustle and bustle of modern day life.
