Details
Description
I live on a property right on the beach east of the city of Malaga where I live with my daughter. We are from The Netherlands but have been living here for many years. We love to meet travelers from all over the world to exchange travel experiences.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Help with Computers/ Internet
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The area is almost totally Spanish, hardly any foreign tourists around, so an ideal place to practice your Spanish :)
There are bars, restaurants and little supermarkets at walking distance from the house. You can walk for hours along the beach and pass several towns and beach bars.
Help
We ask you to help 5 hours a day. In return you will get 3 meals a day, a place to sleep and 2 days off per 5 days helped.
Workawayers normally prepare their own meals after your help unless we have a workawayer dedicated to household and cooking activities but we do share certain meals together from time to time.
If you see yourself helping us out and you like to stay at a property on the beach in southern Spain then send me a message.

Jaz (Yamila) was fun to have around. A very positive person enjoying life. She helped us a lot with ideas and all kinds of jobs around the house for 6 weeks. She is trustful, responsible and hard working. We already miss her! Do come back again!

It was a joy to have had Millie around at our place! She is always in a good mood, very friendly and eager to work. She makes nice Argentine dishes and is a good and clean painter as well as very good in keeping the place clean and tidy. She will be a delight to any host!

Matteo was an excellent workawayer and has come back twice to our property. I would recommend him to any host who wants someone who is fun, polite, hard working and who is good with carpentry work. Good team player.
