Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have lived in 7 countries , have moved to Spain 3 years ago and are learning Spanish.
During my work as an international Hotel General Manager, I have worked in these countries with staff from many different countries and cultures.
I have tought Hebrew and Dutch to small groups.
While I am interested in learning Spanish ,the Workaways could learn German and/or Dutch with us.
We love our social life here.Our workaways are welcome to join meeting different people.
Britta was running her B&B for 12 years and enjoyed every minute of it.She has also some experience with organic, sustainable gardening.We try to use only organic fertilizer.
In Holland she owned together with our daughter a big organic flower garden where clients could pick there own flowers.
In Spain we now have a big garden with some citrus , fruit trees and Olive trees.Always some garden work to do. -
Help
Gardening, small DIY projects
Handy tasks, Painting, Gardening, and sometimes taking care of the 2 dogs.
Our projects are not suitable for families with children.
We have to large and heavy puppies.They are very friendly but also playful and can jump sometimes.They are work in progress and we don’t like the idea that by accident a fragile child would get injured! -
