Description
Hello! My name is Olga,a 50 years woman living in a country house with my 3 dogs and 1 cat in Catalonia.I love arts and travelling,also meeting people from all over the world! That gives me an opportunity to wide my world a little bit more! I love the nature and the animals so much.My dream would be to live in a recovered planet where animals,people and nature would be conected and respected.My lifestyle is to be conected with the earth as much as I can and do my best to protect flora and fauna autoctons. The house is located in a beatiful area in the meadle of the forest but not far from the sea(Costa Brava) and only 20 min.from the City of Girona.This is a protected area with a wonderful views.Barcelona is only 1 hour and 20 min,away.The plot is huge and I have it all fenced,there is a lot of work:doing wood for the fire,taking care of the plants and trees,reparing etc
I have a private forest with a lot of plants to discover for medicine,food etc..also I have fruit trees.I am still learning here with all the herbs and plants we have and my dream is to have a wonderful veggie garden full of food to harvest etc with permaculture.The house and the sourranding area have been made with care and love for Gaia.
We are proud to live in a very sunny place even in winter wich is not very cold. My 3 dogs and the cat :Greta,Pastor,Pancho and Rocky are very nice and they like people very much,sometimes I need help with them too if I go away to stay with them.
I offer a beautiful vintage caravan fully restored with love,a little independant house for volunteers who wish to experience an off grid life and help for a long term.The house is big and I am renting some of the areas for gests.
If you come here you can learn about sostenibility,ecology etc..We only run with solar panels and recicle all the water etc
You can practise languages with me: Spanish,catalan, english,french...and also if you like to cycle or walk with the dogs you can join me to do beatiful excursions or explore by yourself.
I would be happy to share some meals with you,vegetarian,local and organic and prepare it all together! Here is a non smoke and alcohol enviroment,we would like calm and respectful people.
Come and share with us! Bring your instruments!!

Help
I need a couple for: maintenance, reparing, make wood, diy, cleaning,arts and crafts etc
It is needed someone who can drive and have the european driving licence, it will be very valuable to get used to dogs and cats also.
We have to create a veggie organic garden from cero,I need someone with experience to started and take care of it.You can be provided by this for your needs.
Also woul be nice to create a house for chikens.
The helping timetable will be from 9am to 2pm . The timetable could be flexible and can change depending of the requeriments of the moment but always the afternoons are free to rest, discover the sourrandings or share other kind of interests.
I would really apreciate a handy and strong couple and also clean/ tidy because that is important for us.
We think about a retired couple who enjoy reparing and creating new things for the house also with knowledge of machines etc
