Description
We are a swiss family of 5, Aline (Yoga tescher, doula and therapist: family constellations, aura balancing,...) Philippe (mecanic) and 3 children: a boy (11) a girl (9) and a boy (6) , and... our cat, after living and travelling in our camper for 4 years and doing a lot of workaway and helping and meeting people, we are now taking care of a house and a land in South of Spain with our 7 chickens 🤩! We love life and our priority is to have time of quality with our children and be in the nature!
Come to live in the nature, discover the wonderful beaches around Aguilas, and also discover this little town that we love! Help us to take care of the trees, the land around the house, the garden and to renovate a part of the house where we live!
We are happy to meet new people, new cultures, new food and to speak differents languages!
For us, hosting people of workaway is a way of travelling without moving!!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will discover Aguilas, nice little city typically spanish, the wonderful beaches around, (all that at 20' driving from our home), the natural park by the sea and the so beautiful nature in the little hills where we live!
We speak french (mother tongue), fluently english (also the kids), we (Philippe and Aline) are more or less beginners in spanish, we would love to practice more this language, our children are already speaking fluently spanish, we (adults) have like an internediate level in spanish.
Philippe knows a lot about houses renovations, electricity, and of course mecanic! Aline would like to know more the plants (to eat and to heal) and her dream is to do essentials oils from the land 🤩! She also likes renovating old houses and did it already quite a lot in her life!

Aline is a teacher, so quite good in explaining the french language! We can teach you french, would love to practice more Spanish, and always happy also to practice English!
Accommodation
You can or sleep in your own van, or in our quite big campervan (we lived in during 4 years 5 people and one cat, there are beds, table-s seats, kitchen, little -but performant- gaz heater and cupboards!)
You will have your own bathroom with toilets and warm shower in the flat that we are renovating 🙏
We'll take turn to prepare the meals, we like discover new food! (the meals preparation and the help with preparing the table and cleaning it after, is out of the hours of "official" job).
We are almost totally lacto-vegetarians, (we don't eat any meat, fish, animals, and milk's products, 2 of us are allergic to the gluten and to the milk), we eat some eggs (soon from our chicken 🤞!), so we ask you not to cook any animal in our house or in our campervan, thanks 🙏!
What else ...
If you want to move around, you will need your own vehicle!
We are at 20' driving from Aguilas and the sea 🙏 (and there isn't any bus or train around)
We can pick you up at the bus station in Aguilas and bring you back there, of course, and inbetween, we can sometimes go all in our campervan, (if you are one or two), but we are more using our car in the daily life and we havent any extra seat in it if we are moving with all the family.
You can also take our bicycles, if you like doing some sport!!
