Description
Hi there!
We live in a beautiful, open-air forest area of Girona, near the beaches of the Costa Brava, where I often swim.
Since we're older, we'd appreciate a volunteer helping us with the garden and around the house.
I usually cook for everyone, although I welcome cooking enthusiasts. I also load the dishes and wash clothes, and I usually do the housework alone. If I needed help, I'd ask if you'd be happy to help me, but despite my age handicap, I'm proud to do it.
I don't like people who drink a lot or use hard drugs
I usually prefer to welcome volunteers with comments or references.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Luisa
