    Description

    We are a swiss family of 5, Aline (Yoga teacher, doula and therapist: family constellations, aura balancing,...) Philippe (mecanic) and 3 children: a boy (12) a girl (10) and a boy 7) , and... our two cats, after living and travelling in our camper for 4 years, doing a lot of workaway, helping and meeting people, we are since 2023 taking care of a house and a land in South of Spain!
    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 learn more skills, especially in the veggie garden and happy to share our renovations abilities!!

    We are happy to meet new people, new cultures, new food and to speak differents languages!

    Our children need to practice English, we adults also like practicing it,
    and we adults need to improve our Spanish!

    If you want, we can also practice french when the children are in school!!

    Of course, you also need to enjoy being with children and animals!🙏

    For us, hosting people of workaway is a wonderful way of travelling without moving!! Welcome 🙏🙏🙏
