    Description

    Hi all, I finally decided to move from Valencia to the countryside, a beautiful valley with a river and a magic atmosphere. I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm moving there on August 2nd.

    In my first weeks of my new life there, I would love to have companionship and help around the house with the settling-in process and make the place a home. We could work together on the apartment (like unpacking, decorating, planting, etc.) and in the afternoon go to discover the swimming spots and hiking routes of the valley.

    There's also the full sun eclipse in August, and it would be fun to go somewhere to see it together. :-)

    If you don't speak Spanish I can help you to learn it a bit, also German, or Russian :-)

    The valley is very special, google Olba and you will see many things about it, it has a very magic atmosphere, with many cultural, spiritual, and kind people. We can go to the local festivities or markets together.

    I hope to find someone who is into nice cooking, open and honest conversations ( I prefer people who say what they think and don't hide behind a mask)), who would like to see the explise with me and get to know the neighbors.

    If you want to escape the heat in the city and stay in nature, close to nature, fresh river for nice swims this is your place.

    I would love to help with the process of settling down, Unpacking everything, decorating the apartment, hanging curtains flowers and lights on the balconies, etc.

    You'd also drive me to places with my car, like for shopping or to the river for a swim. :-)

    I would like to do the work in the late mornings until early afternoons, and I'm quite flexible and chill about that. The rest of the time I like to chill, to hang in my hammock, or to read, to go to a village market, or to a local festivity, or yoga classes, etc. If you like, you can join me on these things, or do your thing.

    I would be happy to find someone who is proactive and thinks by themself about what needs to be done, and is not waiting for each step to be told by me. If you are also creative about decorating the apartment, would be a big plus. You can choose what to do every day you get up. And, you can also work a full day and then have a full day off to make a trip to Valencia or Castellon.

    All together it would be around 20-25 hours per week, which you can do whenever it suits you.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The apartment has 2 bedrooms with a nice view over the valley, so one would be yours, In the beginning, there might be some boxes in both rooms, that we would unpack in the first days.

    We also would cook/eat together if we wanted to, but there's no obligation. I don't eat meat, and wouldn't buy or cook it, but you are free to do so, if you wish

    PS: I have a cat, but he is hiding from people he doesn't know.
    PPS.: Smoking is only allowed on the balcony.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The river is really close. You can go there for a swim or for a walk, or also visit the villages.
    There's no public transport, but a local Wahsattapp group where you can find shared trips to Valencia or Teruel, which I can help you with.
    If you don't speak Spanish I can help you to learn it a bit, also German, or Russian :-)
