Description
SEVERAL IMPORTANT POINTS THAT WE WOULD APPRECIATE BEFORE YOU WRITE TO US:
-We only accept 1 person at this time.
-This person must speak English, one of the priorities or "raison d'être" is linguistic, cultural and "spiritual".
-At least for now, we are not interested in people staying less than two weeks.
-The island is called Mallorca, not Palma, Palma is the capital- Although in the collective imagination, Mallorca is only a summer, beach, and party paradise, this is not the whole reality of our land :).
-We are not looking for a "free worker" but a task and language exchange, but we are not a hotel either. (:D)
Our description:
We are a family with two amazing dogs and a cat. We have nice countryside and we aim to grow a garden (like we do every year), we also have some hens. Lorenzo, the father is a musician (trumpet) and a computer developer, and Justí is a cook (studied winery and Haute cuisine), BA in International Relations, studied a postgraduate program in neurocommunication and is currently studying an MA in Applied Philosophy, a MA in Healing Philosophy and (finisihing very slowly) a BA in Humanities online; he also has the Spanish teacher ELE diploma.
In this house we try to put into practice the principle of respect in all aspects of life: we don't care where you are from, your gender, your sexual preferences or any other personal matter. We take it for granted that this respect will be mutual.
BTW, we are "flexivegeterians" for climate reasons, but we make some exceptions. We are interested in keeping our diet very healthy (not necessarily eating quinoa and goji, we cook local products).
Bear in mind that Mallorca is an Island and that the primary spoken languages are Catalan and Spanish. (don't worry we speak English as well).
Justí (31 years old) was once a workawayer in the USA, so he has already been on the other side and I am sure that with good communication and responsibility, everything can go better than well.
We are especially concerned with biodiversity preservation, politics, activism, feminism, LGTBIQ rights, philosophy, mindfulness, and all the arts in general.
For now, we ONLY WANT TO HOST 1 PERSON per period. We are sure that there are lovely couples and maybe later we will have more work and time for this possibility, but for the moment we do not.
WE PREFER SOMEONE ABLE TO COOK, general house daily work, and some gardening.

We will even sail with our boat and visit lovely creeks (calas). Of course, if you like music or you are a musician is a plus, as well as if you are interested in any kind of humanities (philosophy, politics, arts, languages...).
We speak English, German, Spanish, Catalan, French and a some Portuguese and Italian. And Justí just started learning Danish A1.

Help
Cooking, some cleaning, gardening (we would love if you already have some minimum experience gardening or at least some curiosity to learn more and research about it), in the morning we often need some help feeding Lyra, Chloé (the dogs), Lyn (the cat), our new baby Dara (dog) and the hens (unnamed).

La experiencia con Sevag ha sido, sin duda, sorprendente. Diría que esta es la palabra perfecta para resumirlo todo. No fue algo planeado, y de hecho, surgió de la manera más improvisada posible, incluso más que cualquier otra experiencia que hayamos tenido hasta ahora. Aun así,… read more
I really loved eating Paella at the weekends and going out with Justi , I wish you all the best and hope to meet you again.
Lorenzo and Justì are very openminded, generous, friendly and cheerful.
They are always updated on current events all around the world, for this reason talks are never boring and so much reflective and deep.
I enjoyed every moment, from gardening to cooking…
…and never felt alone, thanks to Lyra and Chloe (dogs):… read more

Justí
A respectful, balanced, calm, pleasant, helpful and independent person.
We couldn't ask for more: she helped us as much as she could and knew how, she took care of our pets with total love and we enjoyed sharing the space with her.
Too bad you stayed for such a short time!
You will be welcome back.
Our experience with him has been very positive, he is certainly an open person with whom you can talk about anything, he knows how to respect other people's space and has a great sense of humor.
I (Justí) am sure that I will visit him in Canada (if he keeps his invitation).
We are sure… read more
Well, the experience with you Ginger was absolutely fabulous. You were going through the spaces in the house and tidying up in a way that hadn't happened in years. The conversations with you were on practically any topic and in a very… read more
