Description
Hello! I’m Rebecca, a 47 year old woman living off-grid with my children (10 and 16) on a peaceful finca in the beautiful Málaga mountains. We’re live a simple, sustainable way of life — surrounded by nature, trees, and mountain views — and I’m looking for friendly, practical people to lend a hand with various projects around the place.
Life here is peaceful and simple. We live in a self-built chalet with solar power and collect water from the rain, surrounded by olive and almond trees. You’ll have plenty of time to relax, explore the hills, local villages, and enjoy sunrises, sunsets and star-gazing from the terrace.
If you enjoy hands-on work, being outdoors, and living close to nature, you’ll feel right at home here.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We speak English at home, but we speak good Spanish too (the children are bilingual) so our helpers can learn and practice both languages. We live right in the heart of Andalucia, so you can experience the best of this culture: village life, cafes, tapas, ferias, flamenco, living outside. If you want to experience day to day family life, in a beautiful setting, this is for you!
