    Description

    Hello!

    We are a family of four, a dog, a cat and five chickens. My name is Julia, am a 37 years old half french, half american girl. I live in catalunya since 10 years and am a yoga teacher. My partner is catalan but he grew up in the USA, he's a 44 years old blacksmith and has his workshop in the village near by the house. He makes tones of cool stuff like knives, furnitures, and all kind of fine metal works (there's the option to spend a few hours in the workshop with him if interested).

    We have two kids, a little boy that is 4 years old and Marlon's daughter that is 10 years old that doesn't live full time with us.

    We are looking for someone who can come and help us at the house. We mainly look for someone who can play with the kids while we work during summer. And there is also some things to do on the land like gardening . If you are kid friendly, and like to live in nature you are welcome with us for a while!

    If you want to move around from the house, there's beautiful walks just at the corner of the house or you can share the car ride with us when we go in and out of the village. There is also the option to walk or bike to the train station. The village is 10mn away by car, 15mn away you have a larger city and 5 mn by car from the house you have the train station (direct train to barcelona is a 50mn ride).

    We provide the food and eat together, we count on the participation of the person to help cooking and cleaning the dishes. There is also the option to have breakfast or any other meal on your own in the caravane.

    We come from many years of living in community and have received some volunteers in the last three years and was always a very nice experience. We like to meet new people, discover others people way of living and culture, we try to make people feel at home and enjoy their stay as much as possible.

    We can talk on the phone and video call if you are interested!
