Description
Hello! My name is Olga,a 50 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 to be free and happy.My vision to the planet gets involved with sustainibility and espirituality.I do my best here to take care and be respectfull with the earth. 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,also you have a small town in a 10 min.drive.This is a protected area with a wonderful views.Barcelona is only 1 hour aprox.far away.The plot is huge and I would need help for the maintenance in general:the grass, the trees, the wood for the fire..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 of course with permaculture philosophy! 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.
I offer a private room for one or two.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, english,french...and also if you like to cycle or walk with the dogs we can do beatiful excursions.
I would be happy to share our meals with you,most of it vegetarian and prepare it all together! Here is a non smoke place even outside,we would like calm persons and respectful with everything.
Come and share with us our dayly life in the mountains!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our exchange will be vey nice sharing interesting talks, visiting nice beaches,some beatifull restaurant outside,meeting friends etc! You can learn many things here in the forest,there are wild animals outside the plot! If you like the nature very much you can apreciate the silence! We don't have neigbours very close.
Help
I need help with house tecnology: computers and social media,marketing etc.,also help me with the daily tasks etc.
It would be valuable someone who can drive and have the european driving licence, it will be very valuable to get used to dogs and love them so much!
The helping timetable will be from 10 after breakfast to 2 for lunch with a little break about 12h for a tea.We often walk with the dogs at the sourrandings in the morning before breakfast for an active meditation and you can join us too if you want. The timetable is flexible and can change a bit depending of the requeriments but the afternoons are free to rest, discover the sourrandings and share other kind of interests.
I would really apreciate a handy and strong person,also clean and tidy because we will have to share daily life.
It would be nice to be available for 3 weeks or more depending of the needs and feeling.
