Description
We are Lara & Diego, a young couple wishing to take care of our land and enjoying living in a "compostable" house (wood structure, straw bale walls and natural plasters) we built last year thanks to you all! We still need to finish plastering the outside facade and improving the garden ☀️

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We had the amazing chance to welcome about 20 Workawayers last summer 🤩
And we are quite experienced in traveling abroad and meeting new people:
🧞 Lara did a 2 years world tour volunteering for sustainable food NGOs
🦸 Diego stayed 2 years travel-working in Australia and comes from Belgium & Chili
What we have in common: South America!
Can't wait to travel again through you!!
Help
👉 The exchange is based on a 4,5 hours of help 5 days/week, usually from 9 AM to 1.30-2 PM with a break in the morning & then lunch together when possible 🥗
👉 We're looking for *a pair of people* (couple, friends... >> see "Accommodation" chapter) who wants to experience the great outdoors for a few weeks in a region that has so much to offer 🌞
👉 Good physical condition is best (carrying loads, withstanding heat...) and gardening experience welcome! 🌻
🌿 GARDENING 🌿
Help us creating our Eden's garden! Here is a non-exhaustive list of possible tasks:
• Mulch the trees
• Water the plants
• Move stones to fill in holes in the path
• Remove plastic from a pond
• Improve the outdoor chill-out area... 🤗

Accommodation
🛏️ ACCOMMODATION
We provide accommodation into a mini-tiny-house (13㎡): our lovely "roulotte" has 1 large double bed. You'll have solar electricity, water access, solar shower and dry toilets.
⛺️ LOCATION
The plot is at the end of a dirt track, 20min walk from the village (10min by bike), 15min drive from the beaches and Argeles train station (40min by bike) and same for the mountains. 👉 Far away and close to everything at the same time: in a rural area but nearby tourist places!
🍲 FOOD
We offer 3 meals/ingredients per day, 7days/week, mostly veggie & we usually cook and lunch together.
♥️ SHARING IS CARING
In the daily life, we'll share:
👉 Lunches when we are on site, if we are working outside you can cook by yourself
👉 Some evening meals: we try at least to share 1 meal/day with you, lunch and/or dinner :)
👉 Our shower (there is also a canal)
👉 Our kitchen if it rains, otherwise you have an outdoor camping gas for your independency
👉 Our 2 bikes for you to chill around
👉 Some lifts if you want to go to the seaside
👉 A map of the area's points of interest and any advice you may need!
What else ...
🌊 Lara grew up in the surrounding area and can propose you different activities nearby, particularly on the coast: she works (pottery shop) and has family in Collioure, most beautiful village ever 🏖️
🌲 Diego is working as a forestry engineer on the mountain side.
💬 Call or write us to find out more! (ask me for the number)
PS: please take good shoes, work clothes, sunglasses, sunscreen and repellent - we will lend you personnal protective equipment ✅
