    Description

    Hi!

    We're Graciela and Enric, a couple from Alicante, Spain. We're renovating a country house and need some help!

    We live between 2 houses, and there's tasks to do in both. One place is more renewing the house, and the other is gardening, and general maitenance.

    Couples and friends welcome. We can host max 2-3 people. :)

    One is in a very quiet place, sorrounded by mediterranean nature, and the other is also in a quiet place with a natural spring and a place to swim in a little river!

    Our house is about 2 km from Sella (the nearest town).

    Work hours are between 4 and 5 hours a day, 25 hours a week (flexible). We provide food, usually vegetarian, and share the cooking tasks.

    We live with three adorable dogs: Durga, Lua, and Kaki. They are kind with people and other animals, but we don,t accept other animals at this moment, sorry...

    We'd like to start with a one-week stay to get to know each other and see if we get along. After this week, we can see if everyone is comfortable and decide what to do next. Communication is key, :).

    We're always happy to host people and enjoy new experiences!

    We speak some English, French, and Portuguese, and we love learning more and more. We enjoy learning languages ​​and teaching Spanish and Catalan.

    We try every day to deconstruct patriarchal society, starting with ourselves, so please don't contact us if you're not interested.

    This is a very exciting project for us, and we would love to share it with people from all over the world to create our dream home, start a family project, and create a welcoming space for workshops, meetings, concerts, and more.

    Contact us to know more details and ask any questions!

    Welcome home! :)
